Solution

The correct option is A Access to affordable food grains
As a social welfare scheme, the government also gives money to poor farmers to buy inputs for farming. This is known as a subsidy. This reduces the cost of production by selling inputs at affordable prices. This way, the public can buy food grains and essentials at affordable prices and increase their standard of living.
