D Correct answer
Explanation

The Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) was designed to provide food grains to both APL (Above Poverty Line) and BPL (Below Poverty Line) families, albeit at different subsidized rates. This dual-pricing structure ensures that while the poorest receive higher subsidies, the system remains accessible to a broader population.
