• C. Helpful change - 1; Non-Helpful Change - 2, 3
• D. None of the given options is a change.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1.The farmers harvesting crop is helpful as the crop after processing becomes grain, which is essential for nutrition and survival.

2.Ripening of Fruits is a helpful change as fruits become sweeter after it ripens and so becomes tastier.
