- A.5,035
- B.3,081
- C.22,477
- D.12,900
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 22,477.

Option A is the number of houses sanctioned in the segment in the year 2024-25 and option B the number sanctioned in 2025-26, so both are real figures but answer a different question. Option D does not match any figure mentioned.
