The correct answer is D. The term ‘Self-reliant India’ or ‘Self-sufficient India’ directly refers to the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan.

Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (Self-Reliant India Movement) is a policy initiative launched by the Government of India in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its objective is to make the country and its citizens independent and self-sufficient across various sectors of the economy by boosting domestic production and reducing reliance on imports, while also aiming to integrate India more strongly into the global economy.

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is a program aimed at universalizing elementary education. The National Health Mission is a comprehensive health program encompassing rural and urban health missions. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) guarantees 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to adult members of rural households willing to do unskilled manual work. None of these directly translate to or primarily focus on ‘Self-reliant India’ in the broad economic sense intended by the question.
