    D.

    All of the above

    E.

    None of the above/More than one of the above

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (d) All of the above

    Explanation:

    • The New Industrial Policy of 1991 fundamentally restructured the Indian economy by adopting the LPG Model (Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization).
    • Liberalization aimed to dismantle the restrictive 'License Raj', removing barriers to entry and expansion for businesses.
    • Privatization involved reducing the role of the public sector and promoting private ownership by divesting government stakes in public enterprises.
    • Globalization integrated the Indian economy with the world economy by easing foreign direct investment (FDI) and reducing tariffs.

    Information Booster:
    • The policy was introduced by the government of Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao on July 24, 1991.
    • The chief architect behind these pivotal economic reforms was the then Finance Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh.
    • It successfully rescued India from a severe Balance of Payments (BoP) crisis.

    Additional Knowledge:
    • liberalization (Option A)
      It is a correct component but incomplete as a standalone answer.
    • privatization (Option B)
      It represents the structural shift in ownership but only covers one pillar of the policy.
    • globalization (Option C)
      It signifies opening up the economy but ignores domestic deregulations.

    So the correct answer is (d)
