Answer: (B) Rashtriya Mahila Kosh

Rashtriya Mahila Kosh, set up in 1993, provides micro-credit specifically to poor women through NGOs and self-help groups. NABARD refinances rural credit generally, Grameen Bank is a Bangladeshi model, and the National Mission for Empowerment of Women is a coordinating mission, not a lender.
