Read the following passage carefully:
Under the Sustainable Agricultural Waste Management Framework, state environmental agencies provide capital grants to agricultural cooperatives that establish localized bio-char processing units. To qualify for financial disbursements, a cooperative must process a minimum of five thousand metric tons of crop residue annually and demonstrate that at least sixty percent of the generated bio-char is distributed directly to smallholder farmers at subsidized rates. Recent audit reports indicate that while several cooperatives met the annual residue processing threshold, half of these qualifying cooperatives failed to submit verified distribution logs documenting sales to smallholder farmers. Consequently, state regulatory boards withheld the second tranche of capital grants from those specific non-compliant cooperatives.
Based on the information provided in the passage, which of the following statements must logically be true?
- Some agricultural cooperatives that satisfied the annual crop residue processing threshold did not receive their complete capital grant disbursement.Cevap
- BAgricultural cooperatives that had their second grant tranche withheld will face operational shutdown before the end of the fiscal year.
- CAll agricultural cooperatives participating in the program failed to meet the mandatory sixty percent bio-char distribution quota.
- DState environmental agencies established the capital grant initiative primarily because smallholder farmers could not afford commercial soil fertilizers.
