Solution
The correct option is B Amartya Sen
In 1981, Amartya
Sen published Poverty and Famines: An
Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation (1981), a book in which he argued
that famine occurs not only from a lack of food, but from inequalities built
into mechanisms for distributing food. Sen also argued that the Bengal famine
was caused by an urban economic boom that raised food prices, thereby causing
millions of rural workers to starve to death when their wages did not keep up.
