How is self-reliance seen in an entrepreneur?

Correct answer: By starting work independently

Direct answer: Option B is correct. Self-reliance means having confidence and willingness to begin and manage work through one’s own initiative, while still using suitable advice or teamwork when needed. An entrepreneur identifies an opportunity, takes the first practical step and accepts responsibility for moving the work forward. Option B is correct because starting work independently shows initiative and self-reliance. Option A is wrong because complete dependence on others is the opposite of self-reliance. Option C is wrong because delaying every decision prevents independent action and can cause opportunities to disappear. Option D is wrong because criticism alone does not create a product, service or solution; constructive feedback may help, but mere criticism is not self-reliance. Self-reliance does not mean refusing all help. It means not waiting helplessly for others to do everything and being prepared to take responsible action. Memory cue: self-reliance means “I can begin and take responsibility,” not “I must work without anyone’s help.”
