The correct answer is Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (D).
In India, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), which was formerly known as the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is the nodal department responsible for formulating and implementing the FDI policy. Applications for FDI under the government approval route, including for ‘Single Brand’ product retailing beyond the automatic route limits, are processed through the Foreign Investment Facilitation Portal (FIFP), which is managed by DPIIT.
