If a girl in KGBV returns late after holidays due to household responsibilities, what is the issue?

Correct answer: Effect of household responsibilities on education continuity

The direct answer is option A: household responsibilities are affecting education continuity. If a girl returns late after holidays because she must perform extensive domestic work, her attendance, regular study, lessons, and connection with school may be disturbed. The issue is not laziness; it is the effect of unequal or heavy household responsibilities on educational continuity. The school should understand the situation, communicate with the family, and explore supportive arrangements without blaming the girl. Option B, school food, does not explain the stated delay. Option C, classroom decoration, is unrelated. Option D, a sports prize, has no connection with returning late. Option A is correct because it identifies the social and gender-related barrier to continued education. Memory cue: repeated home duties can become a school-attendance barrier.
