Read the following sentences :
(a) A significant number of Indian households afford healthy food.
(b) Household food production has limited impact on food inflation.
(c) Food insecurity is an occasional phenomenon in India.
Answer: D
Statement (a) is correct and (b) and (c) are incorrect, which is option (4).
(a) The passage says that farming households producing food for their own consumption are protected from market fluctuations, 'thus ensuring that they can afford healthy food'. The key takes this as correct for a significant number of households, though the passage speaks specifically of farming households.
(b) is incorrect: such households are 'not impacted by food inflation either', so household food production has a strong effect, not a limited one. (c) is incorrect: food insecurity is called 'a nagging constant' in countries like India, not an occasional phenomenon.
