The correct option is A. The question asks for the focus of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-2017).

The official theme and focus of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of India (2012-2017) was “Faster, More Inclusive and Sustainable Growth”. Option A, “Sustainable and Inclusive Growth”, accurately captures the core elements of this focus.

Option B, “Social Justice and Equality”, is a broad goal integrated into various plans but was not the defining theme of the Twelfth Plan. Option C, “Food, Work and Productivity”, was a key focus of the Seventh Five-Year Plan (1985-1990). Option D, “Attainment of Self-reliance”, was a prominent objective in earlier plans, particularly the Fifth Five-Year Plan (1974-1979). The Twelfth Plan specifically aimed to accelerate the growth rate, ensure its benefits reached all sections of society (inclusivity), and ensure the growth path was environmentally sound and resource-efficient (sustainability).
