Correct — C, Only 1. Of the four, only the 'Anuthee Uphar' scheme is a Uttar Pradesh initiative. The other three belong to other states — Matra Shakti (Matrushakti) Udyamita Yojana is a Haryana scheme, Kaushalya Matritva Yojana is a Chhattisgarh scheme, and Stree Nidhi is a Telangana scheme — so only Statement 1 relates to Uttar Pradesh.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) These three schemes belong to other states — Matrushakti Udyamita to Haryana, Kaushalya Matritva to Chhattisgarh and Stree Nidhi to Telangana — not to Uttar Pradesh.  (b) Matrushakti Udyamita (Haryana) and Kaushalya Matritva (Chhattisgarh) are not Uttar Pradesh schemes, so this pair is wrong.  (d) Matra Shakti Udyamita is a Haryana scheme, not a UP one; the only UP scheme in the list is Anuthee Uphar (Statement 1).

Concept: This is a 'match the scheme to the state' question. Several states run similarly named women- and mother-focused welfare schemes, and the task is to pick only the one launched by the Uttar Pradesh government — 'Anuthee Uphar', a UP gift/incentive scheme — while rejecting look-alike schemes of other states.
