What is the likely effect on welfare if the government expands rural health centres?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Access to health services will increase
Expanding rural health centres brings doctors, medicines, diagnosis, and preventive care closer to people who may otherwise face distance and cost barriers. Better access can reduce untreated illness, improve health outcomes, and support productive lives, thereby raising welfare. Option A is correct. The other options are unrelated or absurd consequences and do not follow from a public-health expansion.
