D1998

Correct answer: (A) 2008

Explanation

India announced its National Action Plan on Climate Change in 2008 to guide adaptation and mitigation.

The year 2005 precedes the plan and marks no such national launch.

The year 2003 is too early for this climate framework.

The year 1998 belongs to an earlier policy era before this plan existed.

The plan set up eight national missions covering solar power, energy efficiency and more.

The National Solar Mission is among its best-known components.
