Answer 1

Answer:

B. 6th

The Sixth Five-Year Plan from 1980-85 marked the beginning of economic liberalization. Price controls were eliminated and ration shops were closed. This led to an increase in food prices and an increase in the cost of living. Family planning was also expanded in order to prevent overpopulation.
