The correct answer is D) full immunisation of children. Mission Indradhanush is a health mission of the Government of India that aims to cover all those children and pregnant women who are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated against seven vaccine-preventable diseases.

The core goal of Mission Indradhanush is to rapidly increase the full immunisation coverage among children and pregnant women across the country.

The initial phase of Mission Indradhanush targeted immunisation against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, tuberculosis, measles, and Hepatitis B. The mission has been further strengthened with phases like Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI) and IMI 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 to reach the unreached populations and achieve higher coverage.
