Answer
(c) Improved sanitation and solid waste management..
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (the Clean India Mission), launched in 2014, aims at cleanliness — in particular the elimination of open defecation through the building of household and community toilets, and the scientific management of solid waste.
THE STRATEGY: three of the four options describe things that would make the environment WORSE — more deforestation, more landfill, more industrial waste. No government cleanliness programme could have those as aims. Reading the options for their DIRECTION rather than their detail answers the question in seconds.
Note the distinction the wrong options are testing: expanding landfills is not waste MANAGEMENT, it is merely waste STORAGE. Proper management means segregation at source, recycling, composting of biodegradable waste and safe disposal of the remainder.
