Answer: B
Drought is accompanied by water shortage.
A drought results when rainfall fails or is far below normal for a long period, so that the water available falls short of what people, crops and animals need. In Rajasthan, where rainfall varies greatly from year to year, the resulting water shortage affects drinking water, agriculture and fodder alike.
A large volume of water is the opposite of drought, and a high yield of coarse grain is not what failed rains produce. Low fodder yield is a consequence of drought rather than the condition that defines it.
