Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A national action plan is implemented through formally named missions, each with a defined policy domain and institutional mandate.
To classify a proposed name, compare it with the official mission list rather than infer from a related environmental concern.
Application
The National Action Plan on Climate Change lists the National Solar Mission, the National Water Mission, and the National Mission for a Green India among its eight missions.
In the statement set, these correspond to B, C, and E.
Contrast
National Ozone Mission is not one of the eight formally named missions; ozone protection is addressed through other policies and international commitments.
National Air Mission is not one of the eight formally named missions; air-quality programmes are separate from the NAPCC mission titles.
National Solar Mission, National Water Mission, and National Mission for a Green India are formal NAPCC mission titles.
Therefore, the appropriate combination is B, C and E only.
