Hint: Ambassadors of cleanliness, promoted indoor plumbing and community approaches to sanitation (CAS) at the village level as part of the campaign. Other activities included national real-time monitoring and updates from non-governmental organisations like The Ugly Indian, Waste Warriors(Solid Waste Collection and Handling).

Complete answer:
The full form of SBM is Swachh Bharat Mission. The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Mission, was launched by the Indian government in 2014 to eliminate open defecation and improve solid waste management across the country. It's a restructured version of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, which was launched in 2009 but fell short of its goals. The Swachh Bharat mission's first phase lasted through October 2019. Between 2020–21 and 2024–25, Phase 2 will be implemented.

The project was launched by the Indian government to make India "open-defecation free" (ODF) by October 2, 2019, the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's birth. The initial part of the program also includes eradicating manual scavenging, raising awareness and changing behavior on sanitary measures, and increasing local capacity. The mission's second phase aims to maintain the open defecation-free status and improve solid and liquid waste management.

The full form of SBM is Swachh Bharat Mission. Therefore option ‘A’ is the correct answer.

Note: The official name of the campaign is in Hindi. It translates to "Clean India Mission" in English. Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially inaugurated the campaign on October 2, 2014, at Rajghat in New Delhi. With three million government personnel and students from all over India participating in 4,043 cities, towns, and rural villages, it is India's largest cleaning initiative to date.
