Option A: 20 is incorrect because only 20 solar parks have been commissioned under the scheme.
Option B: 25 is incorrect because only 30 solar parks and ultra mega solar power projects were proposed to be set up under the scheme.
Option C: 30 is the correct answer because 30 solar parks and ultra mega solar power projects were proposed to be set up under the scheme.
Option D: 40 is incorrect because only 30 solar parks and ultra mega solar power projects were proposed to be set up under the scheme.
