D
faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. The question asks for the main objective of India's 12th Five-Year Plan, which spanned the period 2012-2017.
2. The officially stated theme or main objective of the 12th Five-Year Plan was "Faster, Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth".
3. Option (A) focuses on inclusive growth and poverty reduction, which were important components, but misses the 'faster' and 'sustainable' aspects explicitly mentioned in the theme.
4. Option (B) mentions 'inclusive and sustainable growth' but omits the crucial aspect of 'faster' growth.
5. Option (C) includes 'sustainable and inclusive growth' and links it to reducing unemployment. While reducing unemployment was a goal, it wasn't part of the core three-pronged tagline, and it misses 'faster'.
6. Option (D) accurately reflects the full official theme: "Faster, Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth".
