The Correct Option is D

Concept:
• There are four main approaches to human development: Income, Welfare, Basic Needs, and Capability.
• Each approach has a distinct focus on how to define and achieve human progress.

Step 1: Match Income and Welfare approaches.
The Income approach is one of the oldest approaches, where human development is linked to income (a-iii).
The Welfare approach looks at human beings as beneficiaries and focuses on government expenditure (b-iv).

The Basic Needs approach was proposed by the ILO and identifies six basic needs (c-i).
The Capability approach, associated with Prof. Amartya Sen, focuses on building human capabilities (d-ii).
The correct sequence is (D).
