Answer:

B. e-Seva

Read Explanation:

e-Seva (Electronic Service) was one of India's earliest and most significant e-governance initiatives in Andhra Pradesh (and later its successor state, Telangana).

The project's objective was to provide integrated citizen services by acting as a "single-stop shop" where citizens could pay various utility bills (electricity, water, telephone), file applications, and obtain certificates (birth, income, caste) for multiple government departments at one physical center or online portal, thereby enhancing convenience, efficiency, and transparency.

(Note: While e-Seva was the pioneering project, MeeSeva has since evolved as the subsequent and more comprehensive flagship integrated service delivery initiative in the bifurcated states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.)
