The correct option is D Rural Roads
To provide employment opportunities to the rural population, the Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana on 25 December 2005 to provide all-weather access to unconnected habitations. The Ministry of Rural Development along with state governments is responsible for the implementation of PMGSY.
Rural road connectivity is the most important component of rural development by promoting access to economic and social services, thereby generating increased agricultural incomes and productive employment opportunities in India
