Solution
The correct option is A Absence of democracy
In the
late 1950s the Chinese people were decimated by a catastrophic famine. With its
large population and volatile agrarian economy, China was no stranger to
famine. The famine of China in the year 1958-1961 was the worst recorded famine
in world. Almost 3 crore people died. According to economists it was because of
the different policies in the two countries. Because of democracy, India
responded to the food scarcity that China didn't. Also no large scale famine
has ever taken place in an independent and democratic country.
