The purpose of screening step in EIA is :
Answer: B
Screening is done to determine whether a full EIA is needed.
Screening is the first step of the EIA process. It sorts proposals by type, size and location: in India, Category A projects are appraised at the central level, Category B1 needs a full EIA at state level, and Category B2 is exempt from a full EIA.
The other options belong to later stages. Studying the baseline is part of the impact assessment proper, after scoping has defined the terms of reference. Consulting stakeholders is the public consultation stage. Assessing the project design comes out of appraisal and the consideration of alternatives, not out of screening.
