(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV).

(A) Failure of entitlements → (III) Inability to obtain food despite its availability.  This concept emphasizes that famine may occur even when food exists if people lack the means to access it.

(B) Expansion of irrigation → (I) Improvement in agricultural productivity.  Irrigation increases agricultural output and reduces vulnerability to rainfall fluctuations.

(C) Continuing poverty and malnutrition → (II) Conditions contributing to famine.  Poverty and malnutrition increase susceptibility to food shortages and famine conditions.

(D) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act → (IV) Initiative to address hunger and starvation in rural areas.  The programme aims to strengthen rural livelihoods and reduce vulnerability to hunger and starvation.
