Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The people getting displaced might file a case in court.

Unlike the non-democratic countries, in democratic nations like India, opinions of many people need to be taken into account to start any multi-purpose dam project. Such projects do get stalled because of many reasons. Environmental activists could be against a project that would raze many trees. The people getting displaced due to this project may protest. Some of them might file a case in court. All this would possibly stall the project for years.
