What is the most correct sign of livelihood resilience in handicrafts?

Correct answer: Artisan can recover from market changes, raw material crisis and income shocks

The direct answer is Option A: resilience means that the artisan can recover from market changes, raw-material crises and income shocks. A resilient livelihood does not mean that no problem ever occurs. It means the worker can prepare, adjust and continue after difficulty. An artisan may use several buyers, keep records, save resources, learn new designs, find alternative materials, diversify products or train the next generation. The reasoning is: shock occurs → the artisan adapts or uses support and alternatives → work and income can continue or recover. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because dependence on one buyer creates vulnerability. Option C is wrong because missing records makes planning and recovery harder. Option D is wrong because not transferring skill threatens future continuity. Memory cue: resilience means “absorb, adapt and recover,” not “avoid every problem.”
