UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C, D and F are correct and capture resource waste, climate impacts, food security implications, behavioural drivers and policy responses. Statement E is false because food waste represents financial loss for households and businesses and adds costs for municipal waste management. Therefore, the combination that includes all true statements and excludes E is A, B, C, D and F only.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it reflects the full range of environmental, economic and social dimensions of food waste, while rejecting the claim that there are no economic implications.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits F, thereby ignoring policies and campaigns that are central to reducing waste in practice.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it includes E, which denies economic consequences, so it mixes true and false statements and cannot be the correct option.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it leaves out B, ignoring methane generation from landfilled food waste, which is a key greenhouse gas concern.
