Microfinance is the provision of financial services to people of low-income groups. This includes both the consumers and the self-employed. The service/services rendered under microfinance is/are: 1. Credit facilities 2. Savings facilities 3. Insurance facilities 4. Fund Transfer facilities Select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

The correct answer is D because microfinance is defined as a broad spectrum of financial services rather than just small loans. According to the Reserve Bank of India and international development standards, microfinance aims to provide comprehensive financial inclusion to low income individuals who lack access to traditional banking.

The four services listed are integral components of microfinance:

1. Credit facilities: Small loans for self employment or consumption needs.
2. Savings facilities: Small deposit accounts that encourage a saving habit among the poor.
3. Insurance facilities: Micro insurance products to protect against health risks, crop failure, or death.
4. Fund Transfer facilities: Remittance services that allow low income earners to send or receive money safely and cheaply.

Since all four services are part of the microfinance ecosystem, option D is the correct choice.
