Solution

The correct option is B Both A and B

The Union Carbide Corporation, apparently one of the first American companies to invest in India, possessed more than 50% shares in the UCIL. The reckless cost cutting measures of the Union carbide management and the ensuing breach of safety controls, the non compliance to standard operating procedures etc., purely to increase its operational profits, are all widely cited as the cause for this devastation.
