Solution

The correct option is C Decentralisation
In decentralisation, the administrative process is not handled by one central authority or organisation. In that case, the development process starts from the grassroots. Mahatma Gandhi called this system Gram Swaraj. The word gram means 'village' and swaraj means 'self-rule'.
