The passage given below is followed by three

Solution

It is clear from the passage that social bias for preference to have a son continues and flourishes in India. The author brings the evidence of the national sex ratio standing at 899 which is less than the desired goals under the Sustainable Development Goal.  Statement I is a clear assumption on which the whole passage is based. Social bias can flourish only if the offenders assume the laws against it as ‘paper tigers’. Therefore statement I is the clear answer. Statement II is unrealistic and superfluous as there are various laws prohibiting such social evils and therefore can be rejected. Statement III is a course of action that follows from the passage and therefore can be rejected as assumptions.  Therefore,   Option A is the clear answer.
