The correct answer is (a) 2007-08.

The National Food Security Mission (NFSM) is a centrally sponsored scheme launched by the Government of India in 2007-08 with the objective of ensuring food security for all sections of the population. The scheme focuses on increasing production of rice, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, and coarse cereals, as well as improving the nutritional status of the population.

The NFSM has been implemented in two phases. The first phase (2007-08 to 2011-12) focused on increasing production of food grains, while the second phase (2012-13 to 2016-17) focused on improving the nutritional status of the population.

The NFSM has been successful in increasing production of food grains. The production of rice, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, and coarse cereals has increased by 20%, 15%, 25%, 20%, and 15%, respectively, since the launch of the scheme.

The NFSM has also been successful in improving the nutritional status of the population. The prevalence of undernourishment has declined from 24.5% in 2005-06 to 19.9% in 2011-12.

The NFSM is a major initiative of the Government of India to ensure food security for all sections of the population. The scheme has been successful in increasing production of food grains and improving the nutritional status of the population.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the years in which the National Food Security Mission was launched.
