Difficulty: MediumExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the passage given below carefully and answer the question that follows:

In June 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare introduced the National Digital Agritech Mission (NDAM) framework to modernize smallholder farming. Under the framework, individual farmers holding up to two hectares of land are eligible for a 60% subsidy on precision drone mapping equipment, provided they are registered on the AgriStack portal before August 2026. However, farmer producer organizations (FPOs) with at least 100 active members receive a 75% subsidy regardless of landholding limits. The guidelines explicitly exclude private corporate agribusinesses and non-registered cooperative societies from all financial subventions. Furthermore, the subsidy applies exclusively to indigenous drone models certified by the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics.

Based on the passage, which of the following statements regarding subsidy eligibility under the National Digital Agritech Mission (NDAM) is explicitly correct?

  1. Farmer producer organizations with a minimum of 100 active members receive a 75% subsidy without any restriction on landholding size.Answer
  2. B
    Individual farmers owning more than two hectares of land are eligible for a 60% subsidy provided they register on AgriStack before August 2026.
  3. C
    Private corporate agribusinesses engaging in contract farming with smallholders receive a partial financial subvention under the scheme.
  4. D
    Imported precision drone models obtain a reduced subsidy rate if certified by the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics.

Answer

Farmer producer organizations with a minimum of 100 active members receive a 75% subsidy without any restriction on landholding size.
The passage explicitly states: 'farmer producer organizations (FPOs) with at least 100 active members receive a 75% subsidy regardless of landholding limits.' The statement regarding FPOs having a minimum of 100 active members being entitled to a 75% subsidy without landholding restrictions directly reflects this fact.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the factual conditions for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) in the passage.
Identified the sentence: 'farmer producer organizations (FPOs) with at least 100 active members receive a 75% subsidy regardless of landholding limits.'
Explicit fact-based reading comprehension requires matching stated conditions directly to the text.
2
Verify each option against the explicit statements in the passage.
Confirmed that individual farmers are limited to up to two hectares, corporate entities are completely excluded, and only indigenous drone models qualify.
Eliminate options that alter scope limiters, introduce external concepts, or make unsupported assumptions.
3
Select the option that strictly mirrors the explicit text without extrapolation.
The statement regarding FPOs with at least 100 members getting a 75% subsidy regardless of landholding limits is directly and completely stated in the text.
Fact-extraction questions demand exact alignment with passage content.
