Option B states "Regional disparities", which is also not a correct answer as regional disparities are a problem to be tackled through planned development, not a factor responsible for accepting it. Option C states "Control over exploitation of landlords", which is a correct answer as it highlights the need for land reforms and control over the exploitation of landlords as a factor responsible for accepting planned development. Option D states "Initiation of licensing policy", which is not a correct answer as licensing policy is a tool used for implementing planned development, not a factor responsible for accepting it.
