Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify the scheme.
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was launched by the Government of India in May 2016 under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Step 2: Recall its core objective.
The scheme specifically targets women from Below Poverty Line (BPL) households and aims to provide them with free LPG connections to replace unhealthy cooking fuels like firewood and cow dung.
Step 3: Eliminate other options.
Financial assistance, pensions, and health checkups are covered by other schemes, not PMUY.
\[ \boxed{\text{free LPG connections to women from Below Poverty Line households}} \]
