Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Designing, monitoring and evaluating its CSR projects

Rule 4(3) of the Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014 lets a company engage international organisations to design, monitor and evaluate its CSR projects and to build the CSR capacity of its own staff. Implementation itself must be by the company or an entity listed in rule 4(1). An unspent ongoing-project amount goes to an Unspent CSR Account in a scheduled bank under section 135(6), and the chief financial officer certifies the use of disbursed funds under rule 4(5).
