Explanation

The Eleventh Five Year Plan 2007 to 2012 focused on the theme of Faster and More Inclusive Growth. Inclusive growth refers to economic growth that creates employment opportunities and helps in reducing poverty and inequality. Options A, B, and D are direct social and economic goals of inclusive growth. Reduction of poverty, expansion of employment, and reduction of gender inequality are essential to ensure that the benefits of development reach all sections of society, especially the marginalized. Option C, strengthening of the capital market, is a component of financial and market reforms. While it contributes to overall economic growth and financial stability, it is not considered a direct pillar of the inclusive growth framework as defined in the official plan document. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
