(a) Nepal Bank Limited

(c) Nepal Telecommunication Corporation

Answer
(d) Nepal Electricity Authority
After the 2048 BS liberalization policy, first-phase privatization targeted manufacturing and trading enterprises (such as Bansbari Leather and Shoe Factory, Balaju Textile and Harisiddhi Brick and Tile Factory), together with divestment moves in the banking and telecommunication corporations. Nepal Electricity Authority, a statutory authority responsible for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, was never put on the privatization list, so it is the odd one out.
