Which measure is correct to protect from Loo?

Correct answer: Drinking water and staying in shade

The direct answer is option D: drinking water and staying in shade. Loo is a very hot, dry wind that commonly blows during the hot season in northern and northwestern India. The body loses water through sweating, and direct sunlight and hot air increase the danger of dehydration, weakness, dizziness and heat illness. The reasoning is simple: Loo means extreme heat; extreme heat increases water loss; water replaces some lost fluid, while shade reduces direct heating. Option A is wrong because remaining in afternoon sun increases heat exposure. Option B is wrong because avoiding water makes dehydration more likely. Option C is wrong because running in hot wind increases body heat and sweating. Option D is correct because water supports hydration and shade reduces heat exposure. A person should also avoid unnecessary outdoor work at the hottest time and use safe fluids as advised. Memory cue: Loo means hot and dry, so think water plus shade.
