Solution

The correct option is D Lack of financial help
Tamil Nadu is dependent on rainfall for agriculture. In 2016–17, Tamil Nadu was announced to be drought hit due to poor rainfall. Less crops were grown because of the lack of irrigation facilities. Farmers received low income for their crops. The state lacked financial services from the government. All these problems forced the farmers to stage a protest.
