Explanation

The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is a statutory body established under the KVIC Act of 1956 [1]. Its objectives are categorized into three broad areas: social, economic, and wider objectives. The social objective focuses on providing employment opportunities in rural areas [3]. The economic objective is centered on the production of saleable articles [2]. Finally, the wider objective aims at creating self-reliance amongst the people and building up a strong rural community spirit [2]. These objectives collectively aim to promote rural industrialization and uplift the rural economy by supporting artisans and small enterprises. Since all three statements provided in the question align with these established social, economic, and wider objectives of the commission, the correct answer includes all three points.
