Solution

The correct option is C Seasonal activity
One of the main reasons for food insecurity is the low income due to seasonal activities. Seasonal activities are those activities that are done only during a particular period of the year.

The fireworks industry in which Mala works has seasonal work. And so, seasonal employment explains the inability of Mala to afford food. Seasonal activities are thus a major cause of food insecurity in rural areas.
