Model Answer

(C) Kerala has better public provision of health and educational facilities.

Kerala's lower IMR (6 per 1000) and higher literacy (94%) despite lower per capita income is due to adequate collective/public provision of health and educational facilities by the government.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "Kerala has a low Infant Mortality Rate because it has adequate provision of basic health and educational facilities." Options A, B, and D are either factually incorrect or not supported by the text. Examiners expect students to link Kerala's performance to public/collective provision, not population size or foreign aid.
