• A. They are too scared to stay alone
• B. They are too lonely to stay alone
• C. Their children can be looked after while they work
• D. They do not have to cook food

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Their children can be looked after while they work

The third sentence from the third para tells us that Indian people stay in joint families so their kids can be looked after when they're at work. Option C correctly mentions this reason.

A, B and D refer to contents not mentioned in the passage. We can ignore them.
