Explanation

The textbook directly states: "Jawaharlal Nehru proudly proclaimed the dams as the 'temples of modern India'; the reason being that it would integrate development of agriculture and the village economy with rapid industrialisation and growth of the urban economy." Option B captures this exactly. Options A, C, and D are not supported by the passage.
