Solution
The correct option is A Bengal
The most
devastating famine that occurred in India was the famine of Bengal in 1943, which took away many lives. There was a threat of famine, but after 1902
there was no major famine in India until the
Bengal famine of 1943. This famine was the most
devastating; between 2.5 and 3
million people died during World War II. The famine resulted in
two-three million deaths. The 1943 Bengal famine, which is estimated to have caused over three million deaths, resulted not from
a drought as is widely thought but from the British government's policy
failures, option ‘a’ is correct answer.
