Solution
The correct option is B Diet diversification One of the measures of the National Health Mission focused on providing education on health, such as dietary diversification. For example, iron deficiency in a human body is a serious problem. It could lead to anaemia, a condition where people lack red blood cells in their body. Therefore, special attention was given to the consumption of iron-rich foods to maintain a healthy body.
