Solution

The correct option is B Hawker zones
The government initially considered banning street vendors from setting up on the streets. However, once the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014 was passed, it allotted specific spaces for street vendors to continue their respective businesses. These spaces are called hawker zones.
