Correct answer: C. 90 percent
Explanation
Mission Indradhanush, launched in 2014, aimed to increase full immunization coverage to 90 percent by 2020. Intensified Mission Indradhanush later aimed for 90 percent coverage in identified low-coverage districts. The 75 and 80 percent distractors are lower targets from earlier phases. The 95 percent distractor is the herd immunity threshold for some diseases but not the Indradhanush target.
