What may happen to welfare if the crime rate falls in an area?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Safety and mental peace may improve
Welfare includes social conditions such as personal safety, freedom from fear and mental peace, not merely income or output. If crime falls, people may face less risk, feel more secure and participate more confidently in community and economic life. Hence option C is correct. A lower crime rate does not make output zero, end education or necessarily reduce welfare.
