D Correct answer
Explanation

The Eighth Five Year Plan (1992-1997) achieved an actual growth rate of 6.8% against a target of 5.6%, significantly exceeding expectations. This was partly due to economic liberalization reforms initiated in 1991. Earlier plans typically fell short of targets or barely met them, making the Eighth Plan notable for overperformance.
