If daughters are given lower priority in nutrition in a community what is necessary according to the scheme perspective?

Correct answer: Awareness on equal nutrition and health care

The direct answer is A: awareness about equal nutrition and health care. A girl needs sufficient and nutritious food, medical attention, immunisation where appropriate, and care equal to that given to boys. Reasoning step by step: nutrition supports physical growth, brain development, immunity and energy; good health helps a girl attend school and continue learning; discrimination in food or care can harm development; therefore the necessary response is awareness and practice of nutrition equality and health care. Option A is correct because it addresses both the unfair treatment and the remedy. Option B, ignoring nutrition, leaves the problem unresolved. Option C, giving daughters less food, increases discrimination and health risk. Option D, caring only for sons, directly contradicts equality and the scheme’s purpose. The scheme’s perspective is not merely survival but healthy development and equal opportunity. Memory cue: equal food and care build equal opportunity.
