Explanation
- A
I and II are correct
I and II are correct under NFSA 2013, but III is also correct (eldest woman, 18 or above, as household head for ration-card purposes). So stopping at I and II is incomplete.
- B
II and III are correct
II and III are correct, but I is also correct (coverage up to 75 percent rural and 50 percent urban). Omitting I is wrong.
- C
I, II and III are correct
All three statements match the National Food Security Act, 2013: coverage ceilings, nutritional support for pregnant women and children, and the eldest woman (18+) as head of household. That is why (c) is the official key.
- D
None of these
The Act does contain these provisions, so ‘none’ is false.
Summary. Official key is (c). NFSA: 75% rural and 50% urban coverage, maternity/child nutrition focus, and eldest adult woman as household head. I, II and III are all correct.
