- Limiting Foreign Direct Investment
- Boycotting all Chinese goods
- To do away with import of each and every product in the next five years.

Correct
Solution (d)
All the options are wrong. Too extreme to be true.
A self-Reliant India is a nation which shall produce, manufacture and consumer its own products and services without relying on ‘global or international brands’.
It does not necessarily mean, Limiting Foreign Direct Investment, or Boycotting all Chinese goods, or to do away with import of each and every product in the next five years.
When it talks about self-reliance, it doesn’t mean protectionism and moving to a pre-1991 economy.
