Answer:

A. 1 മാത്രം

Kerala has been a trailblazer in the e-Governance domain within India. The state launched its inaugural State Data Centre (SDC) in 2005, marking a significant step towards providing e-Governance services. Building on this success, a second SDC was established in 2011. The establishment and growth of these centres were instrumental in fostering the expansion of vital connectivity infrastructures such as the Kerala State Wide Area Network (KSWAN), the National Optical Fiber Network (NOFN), and the National Knowledge Network (NKN), thereby enhancing the digital infrastructure of the state.
