How many of the above-mentioned entities are regarded as components of a ‘Civil Society’?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation – NGOs, CBOs, and religious institutions are regarded as components of civil society. Government agencies and departments, on the other hand, are not considered part of civil society as they are a part of the state and operate within the framework of the government. Civil society refers to the space between the government, the market, and the household, where individuals and organizations come together to express their common interests and work towards the common good.
