(b) Digital currency will totally replace the physical currency in about two decades.
(c) FDI inflows will drastically increase.
(d) Direct transfer of subsidies to poor people will become very effective.

UPI allows a customer to pay directly from a bank account to different merchants, both online and offline, without the hassle of typing credit card details, IFSC code, or net banking/wallet passwords. So, A is correct
Direct transfer of subsidies to poor people will become very effective is inappropriate in this context (as we are not talking about government to people transfer through UPI).
Digital currency replacing the physical currency and increase in FDI inflows are uncertain events, hence discarded.
