उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) प्रतियोगी वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था में, भारत को विनियमों का युक्तिपूर्वक ही इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए ।
The passage closes by saying that in a hyper competitive global economy regulations must be seen as 'weapons' that seek cost-justified social and environmental benefits while improving citizens' economic well-being. That is a call to use regulation strategically.
- ✗ (a) India's small footprint is noted, but the passage does not claim better regulation will bring the economy to a size matching its population.
- ✓ (b) Regulations as 'weapons' in a 'hyper competitive global economy', chosen for cost-justified benefits — this is strategic use.
- ✗ (c) The criticisms (political tools, unintended consequences) are of regulations in general; the passage does not say India's rules block global integration.
- ✗ (d) Jobs and growth are impacts regulations often ignore, but the passage wants them balanced with social and environmental benefits, not made dominant.
Remember · The concluding sentence often carries the crucial inference; reject options that make one of several listed concerns 'dominant'.
