Explanation

The Seventh Five-Year Plan of India covered the period 1985–90. Contemporary summaries and educational materials that outline the sequence of Plans list the Seventh Plan explicitly as 1985–90, situating it immediately after the Sixth Plan and before the Eighth Plan [2]. The Sixth Plan is recorded as 1980–85, and the Eighth Plan was launched in 1992 after interim annual plans, confirming the chronological placement of the Seventh Plan in 1985–90 [3]. Thus, among the options given, 1985–90 is the correct period for the Seventh Five-Year Plan.
