Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Both statements are correct. The Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) was established as an integrated river-basin authority and is explicitly described in official accounts as the first multipurpose river-valley project of independent India, coming into existence in 1948 to implement a unified scheme of dams and basin development. In addition to its original multipurpose (mainly hydro) works, DVC operates a diversified power portfolio that includes thermal and other non-hydro stations; modern summaries and organisational overviews list DVC’s thermal and gas-fired plants alongside its hydel units, reflecting its role as a multi-technology power generator in the valley.
