The correct answer is: b) Assam Fisheries Development Corporation

The Assam Fisheries Development Corporation (AFDC) is a government organization that oversees fisheries development in Assam. It was established in 1974 with the objective of promoting and developing the fisheries sector in the state. The AFDC undertakes a variety of activities, including fish production, fish marketing, fish processing, and fish research. It also provides financial assistance to fishermen and fish farmers.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE) is an educational institution that provides training in fisheries science and technology. It is not involved in fisheries development.
  • The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) is a government organization that promotes the export of marine products. It is not involved in fisheries development in Assam.
  • The National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) is a government organization that provides financial assistance and technical support to fisheries development projects. It is not directly involved in fisheries development in Assam.
