- BFor the new scheme to take affect, certain conditions have to be met.

Explanation
"Affect" is normally a verb (to influence); "effect" is normally a noun (a result). Only option D ("The new policy had a good effect on the economy") uses "effect" correctly as a noun meaning result. Options A, B and C misuse "effect" as a verb where "affect" is required. Hence option D.
