  4. D1988-94

Explanation

The correct answer is C. The Sixth Five-Year Plan ended in 1985. The Seventh Five-Year Plan immediately followed it, covering the period from 1985 to 1990. The reason for the gap between the Seventh and Eighth Plans was the political instability and economic crisis at the center, which led to two Annual Plans being implemented between 1990 and 1992 before the Eighth Plan finally commenced in 1992.
