Correct answer: D

PM-KISAN is a Central Sector Scheme — fully funded by the Centre — launched on 24 February 2019.
A Centrally Sponsored Scheme shares costs with the states, which PM-KISAN does not.

Worth noting

1 December 2018 is the date from which eligibility was counted, which is why it turns up as a distractor.
