Solution

The correct option is D Build hospitals and healthcare centres
Agricultural development can be brought about by increasing the income of farmers. The farmers then use the income to buy industrial products and services. Non-agricultural development can be attained through improved education, skill building, and provision of health and sanitation facilities. It will improve the productivity and participation of people in other economic activities. All these will contribute towards the reduction of poverty and migration to cities.
