Solution
The correct option is C Introduce cess
For post-calamity reconstruction measures, such as reconstruction after a flood, introduction of a flood cess is the right step for the government. Cess is an additional tax collected and used for a specific purpose. Once the government achieves its goal, it can stop collecting this particular cess. In fact, many states, such as Kerala, introduced such cess in the past.
