Solution

The correct option is A State government
The distribution mechanisms of foodgrains are undertaken by the state governments with the help of some agencies. The state governments have established fair price shops, or what we commonly call ration shops. Ration shops sell essential household items like foodgrains, kerosene, and cooking oil at prices less than the market prices.
