Options:

Privatisation

Liberalisation

Correct Answer:

Liberalisation

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Liberalisation

The process described, where Suresh no longer requires a license from the government to set up an industry after the New Economic Policy of 1991, would be termed as Liberalisation. Liberalisation involves reducing government restrictions and regulations on economic activities, including the removal of licensing requirements for industries, which allows for more free market dynamics and increased participation of private enterprises.
