Which department does the acronym DAR stand for?

• A. Department of Agricultural Resources
• B. Department of Arts and Rural Development
• C. Department of Agrarian Reform
• D. Department of Rural Affairs

Answer: (C)

DAR stands for Department of Agrarian Reform. The terms “Agrarian” and “Reform” point to land and farming communities and to changes in land ownership and tenancy rules. This department is the one that typically handles land distribution to tenant farmers, strengthens land tenure security, and provides related support services to farmer-beneficiaries. The other options don’t fit the acronym or the usual agency naming: resources or agriculture would be tied to a Department of Agriculture or similar, arts and rural development focuses on culture and development rather than land reform, and Rural Affairs would use a different designation that doesn’t yield the same acronym.
