D Correct answer
Explanation

Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established in 1964 to mobilize savings from small and middle-income investors who lacked access to investment opportunities. This democratic approach to investing allowed ordinary citizens to participate in India's financial markets. Options A and C are incorrect because UTI specifically targeted retail investors, not high-income groups or corporates. Option B is too broad - while UTI served various groups, its primary mission was lower and middle-income mobilization.
