Sustainable development is often described as having economic,social and environmental dimensions. Micro credit schemes focus on improving incomes,livelihood security and economic opportunities for the poor. The stem refers to small loans for income generating activities,which clearly target the economic dimension. Therefore Option C is the correct answer.
Option A:
Environmental improvements can be an indirect result of reduced poverty,but micro credit’s main objective is economic empowerment. So Option A does not capture the primary focus mentioned in the question.
Option B:
Cultural aspects of development relate to identity,heritage and values. While important,they are not the main emphasis of micro finance schemes described here.
Option C:
Technological changes can support micro enterprises,but the key dimension being strengthened is the economic base of households. Hence Option D is not as accurate as Option C.
Option D:
Economic strengthening through micro credit can also support social and environmental goals,but in the triad of sustainable development dimensions,this intervention is most directly economic.
