The rural poor across the world, including India, have contributed little to human-induced climate change, yet they are on the frontline in coping with its effects. Farmers can no longer rely on historical averages for rainfall and temperature, and the more frequent and extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, can spell disaster. And there are new threats, such as sea level rise and the impact of melting glaciers on water supply. How significant are small farms? As many as two billion peopre worldwide depend on them for their food and livelihood. Small-holder farmers in India produce 41 percent of the country's food grains, and other food items that contribute to local and national food security. What is the most logical and rational Corry to the above passage?
Supporting small farmers is an important part of any agenda regarding environmentally sustainable development.
Poor countries have little role to play in the mitigation of global warming.
Due to a large number of farmer households, India will not have food security problem in the foreseeable future.
Only small-holder farmers in India can ensure food security.
The correct answer is (a). Options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect. Option (b) misinterprets the passage by suggesting that the poor are not involved in contributing to climate change, whereas they may play a role in mitigating it. Option (c) involves a significant assumption that may not hold true. Option (d) is not mentioned in the passage, and the use of "only" makes it incorrect. Option (a) is the best choice.
