The improvements were attributed to various reforms like the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Resolving insolvency), GST (Paying taxes), and efforts to streamline processes for getting electricity connections and starting businesses, though the impact on the &#8216;Starting a business&#8217; ranking was less pronounced compared to others in that year&#8217;s report. While Paying Taxes also saw significant improvement (1), option D excludes it while including the marginally improved Starting a Business (3) alongside major improvements in Resolving Insolvency (2) and Getting Electricity (4).
