• B. Producers
• C. Government
• D. NGOs

Answer 1

The correct option is A Consumers

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> For a long time, there was no consumer organisation to protect consumers from unfair trade practices of producers and sellers. So, the responsibility to represent the issues fell on consumers themselves. If consumers were unhappy with any particular product or service, they would avoid buying that product or service. Therefore, they had to be much more careful while buying a product or service.
