Solution

The correct option is B Only (1) and (2) follow
Roads are built for the public and hence asking the public not to use roads is not the solution
Including heavy penalty clause while awarding future contracts for the road repairs would force them in building a better quality road.
Asking an explanation from civic officials will help in understanding the reason behind the deterioration of road.
