Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Skills acquisition as a component of youth empowerment involves developing technical and vocational competencies that enable young people to engage in productive economic activities. It is broader than formal education and is not limited to university admission. Providing stipends (C) is social welfare, not skills acquisition, and military recruitment (D) is unrelated.
