Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Reduction in unemployment in rural areas

Rural development focuses on increasing farmers' income so that they can make use of modern machines and increase production. It also includes providing education, building skills, and providing health and sanitation facilities to the rural areas. This improves the productivity and participation of people in other economic activities in the rural areas, which reduces migration to cities.
