Answer: A

The correct matching is a-IV, b-I, c-II, d-III.

The Balwadi Nutrition Programme served children aged 3 to 6 in rural balwadis (IV).
ICDS provides an integrated package for early childhood development and care (I).
The Special Nutrition Programme targeted children of 1 to 6 years and pregnant (and nursing) women (II).
