Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
SMEDAN was established to promote and facilitate programmes for the development of small and medium enterprises, which is a key channel for youth entrepreneurship empowerment in Nigeria. The NYCN coordinates youth activities but does not specifically drive entrepreneurship development. NPC and NCC have entirely different mandates.
