Model Answer
Correct Option: D
Under MGNREGA 2005, the government guarantees 100 days of employment to rural residents in need of work, and provides unemployment allowance if it fails to provide employment.
Explanation
- Option A is wrong: employment is guaranteed only to rural residents in need of work, not "all residents."
- Option B is wrong: it is 100 days, not 200 days.
- Option C is wrong: the Act provides employment/wages, not grains.
- Option D is correct as per the textbook: "If the government fails in its duty to provide employment, it will give unemployment allowances to the people."
