Solution

The correct option is B Yellow
To make the public distribution system more efficient, the government issues different quantities of foodgrains at different prices based on the people's needs and incomes. Thus, ration cards of various colours are issued to various income groups. For example, yellow ration cards are issued to BPL families. White ration cards are issued to APL families, and red or orange ration cards are issued to the poorest of the poor families under the Antyodaya Scheme.
