2. B. An agency for strengthening the structure of federalism
3. C. An agency for facilitating political stability and economic growth

Answer: D

Explanation

While the heads of government and their ministers, saddled with the overall responsibility of government policy, are together known as the political executive having a shorter term of office(In India, it is generally for 5 years); those responsible for the day to day administration are called the permanent executive, i.e. the Bureaucracy. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
