    Nuclear energy

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept

The named missions in a policy must be distinguished from supporting measures discussed elsewhere in the same document.

An activity can be mentioned in the plan without itself being the title or scope of one of the eight National Missions.

Application

The official NAPCC list contains these eight missions:

  • National Solar Mission

  • National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency

  • National Mission on Sustainable Habitat

  • National Water Mission

  • National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem

  • National Mission for a Green India

  • National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture

  • National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change

Contrast

  • Solar power is the focus of the National Solar Mission.

  • Waste-to-energy conversion is covered through waste management and energy recovery under the National Mission on Sustainable Habitat.

  • Afforestation is covered by the National Mission for a Green India.

  • Nuclear energy is discussed among broader energy measures, but there is no National Nuclear Energy Mission in the official set of eight.

Cross-check

Comparing each offered value with the official eight-mission list leaves nuclear energy as the only value that is not covered by a named mission or its stated mission scope.

Therefore, the answer is nuclear energy.
