MH SET 2021 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (26-Sep-2021)
The correct answer is

Gap between groups having access to technology and without technology

The digital divide refers to the gap between individuals, households, regions or groups that have access to information and communication technologies (computers, internet, mobile) and the skills to use them, and those that do not.

Better citizen-government linkages and improved efficiency of government workers are benefits of e-governance, while partnership between public, private and civil society describes governance networks; none of these defines the divide.

Hence, the answer is Gap between groups having access to technology and without technology.
