Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
In a competitive selection programme, a city's sequence number is fixed by the order of formal approval, not by when it was proposed or by its size.
To identify the 100th city, use the official announcement that followed the approval of the first 99 cities.
Application
On 20 June 2018, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs announced that Shillong's proposal had been evaluated and approved.
The announcement stated that 99 cities had already been selected and that Shillong completed the selection of 100 cities under the Smart Cities Mission.
Contrast
Srinagar: included in the mission, but not named in the final selection announcement.
Shivamogga: included in the mission, but not named in the final selection announcement.
Satna: included in the mission, but not named in the final selection announcement.
Cross-check
A Ministry office memorandum dated 4 July 2018 separately records Shillong as the 100th city selected for development under the mission.
Therefore, the city selected as India's 100th Smart City was Shillong.
