C Correct answer
Explanation

‘Will’ is the only auxiliary that fits in here. The easiest test is to try out each option one by to see if it makes any sense. For instance, ‘the scheme is be inaugurated by the ministers’ falls flat. Similarly, ‘was’ also does not make any sense grammatically or thematically. ‘Ought’ never stands alone. It has to be ‘ought to be’ and this option is not available.
