keywords: 

{'age': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'child': [5, 2, 2, 8], 'children': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'national policy': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'years': [1, 0, 0, 2]}

The correct option is option-4, which states that the National Policy for Children, 2013 recognizes every person as a child below the age of 18 years. This means that according to the policy, individuals who are 18 years old or younger are considered children.

This recognition is important as it enables the government and other stakeholders to formulate and implement policies, laws, and programs that are specifically designed to protect and promote the rights and well-being of children.

Option-1, which states that the age of every person considered a child is 12 years, is incorrect. Option-2, which states 14 years, and option-3, which states 16 years, are also incorrect.

It is crucial to note that the National Policy for Children, 2013 sets the age limit at 18 years, aligning with international standards such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which defines a child as any person under the age of 18.
