Answer:
C. Self-reliance and local production
Explanation:
Swadeshi :
Swadeshi is the moral principle underlying a decentralized self-sufficient economic structure.
The buyers and sellers having a concern for each other, jointly work for the development of their local areas using local resources. Gandhiji emphasized, "every village of India will almost be a self- supporting and self-contained unit exchanging only such necessary commodities to other villages where they are not locally producible
Self-sufficiency:
He suggested that villages should be self-sufficient i.e. they should produce their own food, clothing and other articles needed for meeting their basic needs.
He insisted on the promotion of village or cottage industries and handicrafts because they can provide employment, necessary to meet the basic needs of the villagers and also facilitate village self-sufficiency
