Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A it generates employment and income for people in rural areas.
B healthier cattle can be reared as livestock.
D prices of food items are directly proportional to produce.

Since the well-being and livelihood of so many people are dependent on agriculture, it is very important that agriculture grows well. When agriculture prospers, it would normally generate employment and income for people in the rural areas. If agricultural production is abundant, prices of food items are likely to be more affordable for people than it would otherwise be.
