Explanation
The Fifth Five Year Plan (1974–1978) focused on 'Garibi Hatao' (Removal of Poverty) and the attainment of self-reliance [3]. The Seventh Five Year Plan (1985–1990) emphasized 'Food, Work, and Productivity', aiming to increase economic productivity and food grain production while generating employment. The Ninth Five Year Plan (1997–2002) was launched with the primary objective of 'Growth with Social Justice and Equality' to ensure that the benefits of development reached marginalized sections. Finally, the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007–2012) adopted the theme 'Towards Faster and More Inclusive Growth', focusing on broad-based improvement in living standards and reducing regional and gender inequalities [1]. Matching these objectives leads to the sequence A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1, which corresponds to option 2.
