The correct answer is: A. 1st April, 2016.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G) is a government of India scheme launched on 25 June 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The scheme aims to provide housing for all rural households by 2022. The scheme is being implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development.
The PMAY-G is a demand-driven scheme, which means that the beneficiaries are selected based on their demand for housing. The scheme provides financial assistance to the beneficiaries to construct or renovate their houses. The assistance is provided in the form of a grant and a loan. The grant is interest-free and the loan is at a low interest rate.
The PMAY-G is a major initiative of the government to improve the living conditions of the rural poor. The scheme has been well-received by the beneficiaries and has helped to improve the quality of life of many rural households.

- Option C is the date on which the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was enacted.
- Option D is the date on which the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented.
