Indian Economic Development: Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation - An Appraisal

Question:
Which of the following option shows the negative impact of "Privatisation"?
Options:
Encouragement of social interest
Highly priced goods
Both 1 and 2
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Highly priced goods
