Read the passage given below carefully:
In February 2026, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) launched the operational guidelines for the National Urban Climate Resilient Infrastructure Framework (NUCRIF) to strengthen municipal flood management. Under these guidelines, Category-A coastal cities with a population exceeding 1.5 million are eligible for a 70% central grant for storm-surge protection barriers, provided they enforce mandatory green building codes for all new commercial constructions initiated after April 2026. Inland flood-prone municipalities, regardless of population size, receive a reduced grant of 50% for flood control infrastructure and are strictly excluded from central equipment subsidies unless they submit an audited urban wetland restoration plan. The framework explicitly clarifies that routine municipal drainage dredging remains under the sole financial responsibility of state governments and will not be reimbursed by NUCRIF under any circumstances.
Based on the passage provided above, which of the following statements regarding funding eligibility under NUCRIF is explicitly correct?
- ACategory-A coastal cities with a population of 1.2 million can claim a 70% central grant for storm-surge barriers if green building codes are enforced.
- Inland flood-prone municipalities can access central equipment subsidies if they submit an audited urban wetland restoration plan.Answer
- CRoutine municipal drainage dredging in inland municipalities can be partially reimbursed up to 50% by NUCRIF.
- DAll inland municipalities with a population above 1.5 million automatically receive a 70% central grant for storm-surge barriers.
