Due to enormous profits involved in smuggling, hundreds of persons have been attracted towards this anti-national activity. Some of them became millionaires overnight. India has a vast coastline both on the Eastern and Western Coast. It has been a heaven for smugglers who have been carrying on their activities with great impunity. There is no doubt, that from time to time certain seizures were made by the enforcement authorities, during raids and ambush but even allowing these losses the smugglers made huge profits.

The passage best supports the statement that-

  • A.smuggling hampers the economic development of a nation.
  • B.smuggling ought to be curbed.
  • C.authorities are taking strict measures to curb smuggling.
  • D.smuggling is fast increasing in our country owing to the quick profit it entails.

Answer: D

Correct answer: smuggling is fast increasing in our country owing to the quick profit it entails.

The passage opens with cause and effect: because of the enormous profits, hundreds have been drawn to smuggling and some became millionaires overnight. It then adds that seizures notwithstanding, the smugglers still made huge profits - so the incentive survives enforcement.

The other options are judgements the passage never makes. It does not discuss economic damage, does not say smuggling ought to be curbed, and describes enforcement as occasional raids rather than strict measures.
