Solution
The correct option is B Through ration shops The food security system in India has two components: buffer stock and Public Distribution System. The foodgrains for the buffer stock are procured directly from farmers. Then these foodgrains are distributed through PDS throughout the country. They are then sold at regulated ration shops. These shops provide foodgrains at affordable prices.
