An NBFC in Pune trains a model on past loan records labelled 'defaulted' or 'repaid' and then uses it to predict whether a new applicant will default. This is best described as:
This is supervised machine learning used for classification. The model learns from historical loan records that carry labels, defaulted or repaid, and then assigns new applicants to one of those classes. Unsupervised clustering needs unlabelled data, and reinforcement learning depends on reward feedback, which are absent here.

Explanation
Training on labelled historical outcomes to predict a category for new cases is supervised learning, specifically classification. Clustering uses unlabelled data, and reinforcement learning relies on rewards from interaction with an environment. Here the labels defaulted and repaid are given.
