Answer 1

The correct option is C From independence to the early 1990s

The post-independence period was characterised by the development of the small and medium sectors. The central and state governments set up several large enterprises in different segments such as the Integral Coach Factory, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Standard Motors, Ashok Motors, etc. Such actions lasted until the advent of the liberalisation phase.
