Solution

The correct option is A Total population
We can calculate the availability of foodgrains per person by dividing the availability of foodgrains for the year by the total population. It is expressed in terms of kg/year. Thus, it requires the two factors, i.e., availability of foodgrains for the year and the total population of the country.
