• A. iii
• B. i മാത്രം
• C. ii
• D. ഇവയൊന്നുമല്ല

Answer 1

Answer:

B. i മാത്രം

India's rich cultural diversity, with its numerous languages and dialects, presents a significant hurdle for e-governance. Many applications are developed primarily in English, excluding a large portion of the population who do not understand the language. For e-governance to be truly inclusive nationwide, applications must be created in multiple languages, which is a complex and resource-intensive task.
