Correct answer: A
Ministry of Rural Development's own remit is rural livelihoods and infrastructure -- MGNREGA, PMAY-Gramin, PMGSY, and DAY-NRLM -- while village sanitation itself sits with the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the Ministry of Jal Shakti; a municipal waste-management start-up challenge falls outside Rural Development's own portfolio.
