Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : LPG

Ujjwala Yojana is a government of India scheme launched in 2016 to provide LPG connections to below-poverty-line (BPL) households in India.  The scheme aims to make clean cooking fuel readily available to these households, replacing traditional polluting fuels like firewood, charcoal, and cow dung. LPG burns cleaner than these traditional fuels, reducing indoor air pollution and its associated health problems.
