उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (c) भारत में, किसानों को उनकी जैविक खेती को धारणीय बनाने के लिए दिशा-निर्देशन और सहायता की ज़रूरत है ।
Farmers misuse inputs such as farmyard manure and Datura spray because the sector is young, poorly regulated and under-researched. The practical message is that farmers need guidance and support to make organic farming safe and sustainable.
- ✗ (a) The passage does not compare organic with conventional farming or argue against promoting organic farming.
- ✗ (b) 'No safe organic alternatives' is too extreme; the problem is misuse and weak regulation, not the absence of safe options.
- ✓ (c) Confusion, harmful use and unresearched doses all point to the need to guide and help farmers.
- ✗ (d) Profits and global markets are outside the passage.
Remember · For a 'practical message', choose the constructive remedy that answers the problems described; reject blanket negatives and outside topics.
