Correct answer

B. Panipat

Explanation

The correct answer is Panipat, and the campaign was launched from there in January 2015. The President described it as a highly significant initiative for the empowerment of women. Option A, Kurukshetra, is the venue of the Hirak Jayanti celebration itself, which makes it the likeliest wrong choice for anyone who runs the two places together. Options C and D are other well-known Haryana cities but neither is where the campaign began. The President linked the campaign to a measurable gain: she was happy to note that the sex ratio at birth in 2025 had improved over the figure for 2014, and expressed confidence that the combined effort of the Central and State governments would bring the ratio to parity. She also expected continuing improvement in women's health and in the education of girls in the State.
