The correct answer for this question is option-2. SWAYAM is a Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) initiative on a national platform.

Option-1 is not the correct answer because SWAYAM is not specifically focused on tapping the talent pool of scientists and entrepreneurs towards global excellence. While it may provide opportunities for individuals in these fields, its main objective is to provide online courses for all learners.

Option-3 is also incorrect as SWAYAM is not specifically an empowerment scheme for advancing the participation of girls in education. It is a platform that offers courses to learners of all genders and ages.

Option-4 is not the correct answer because SWAYAM is not exclusively aimed at supporting differently-abled children to pursue technical education. It is a platform that provides online courses for learners with various interests and educational backgrounds.

Therefore, option-2 is the correct answer as SWAYAM is a national initiative that offers Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to learners across the country.
