Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

During Manmohan Singh's tenure as Prime Minister, the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) was implemented in 2005, providing legal assurance of employment to rural households. The introduction of GST and the demonetization of high-value currency notes occurred later, under subsequent governments, while the Make in India campaign was launched in 2014. Therefore, the correct answer is NREGA.
