Under a state scheme, a municipal body frames sanitation standards and sets a user-charge policy for a town. Nimbus Infra Ltd builds a treatment plant under a contract and a residents' federation audits service quality. Which statement best describes the government's role here?

The government's role is to set policy and regulatory standards while sharing delivery with partners. The municipal body frames the sanitation standards and charge policy, the company builds the plant, and the residents' federation audits service quality, so each sector has a distinct function.

  1. ASetting policy and regulatory standards, with delivery shared with partnersCorrect
  2. BBuilding and operating the plant instead of the corporate partner
  3. CProviding only monitoring, with no policy responsibility
  4. DActing only as a donor to the residents' federation

Explanation

The municipal body frames standards and charge policy, which is the government's policy and regulatory function. Delivery is shared with the corporate contractor, and monitoring by the federation is civil society's role. The option saying government builds the plant contradicts the facts, since Nimbus builds it.
