  1. A.22 October to 30 November
  2. B.2 October to 31 October
  3. C.10 September to 17 September
  4. D.1 November to 31 December

Correct answer

A. 22 October to 30 November

Explanation

The correct answer is 22 October to 30 November. The campaign was announced to protect soil health and the environment, and scientists together with other stakeholders are to take part in it. Working from Soil Health Cards, it promotes balanced use of fertiliser so that soil fertility and beneficial insects are not damaged, and it encourages pulse cultivation in the rice fallow fields of eastern India, especially Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal, once paddy has been harvested. Option B names a window that belongs to a different government cleanliness campaign, not to this one. Option C repeats the dates fixed for the rabi interface meetings at district and state level, which are a separate announcement from the same conference. Option D is not a period mentioned at all. Note the pairing carefully, since the same conference produced several date-based announcements.
