Answer 1

The correct option is D Village communities offer stay to tourists

Tourists who travel to rural areas can opt to stay in the home of the locals instead of hotels. Tourists avail this option to get the experience of the authentic culture and social life prevalent in those destinations, which in turn helps the locals to uplift their livelihood. The ‘Anandwan’ project of the social activist Baba Amte, Ralegan-Siddhi, Hiwre Bazar, etc. have helped create social consciousness about local culture and devlopment of these areas.
