UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C, E and F are correct: agronomic adjustments (dates/varieties), diversification, climate information, water-saving irrigation and extension services all support adaptation. Statement D is false because smallholders are often highly vulnerable and central targets of adaptation. Hence, the correct combination is A, B, C, E and F only.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits F, missing the crucial role of extension in spreading adaptation practices.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it includes all true statements and excludes D, which wrongly limits adaptation relevance to large farms.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it omits A, which is a valid and common adaptation measure (adjusting sowing dates/varieties).

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it omits B, so it underrepresents diversification as a key risk-reduction strategy.
