Question

Famines occur only because there is not sufficient food to feed everyone. State true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Absolute scarcity of food i.e. a condition where there is insufficient food to feed everyone is extremely rare. Famines occur mostly because the food doesn't reach the people who need it the most. Hence, famines can also occur as a result of governance failures.
