Model Answer

The correct answer is B: III, II, IV, I

From Graph 1 (Sources of Credit in Rural India, 2019): Moneylenders (23%) > Cooperative Banks and Societies (10%) > Relatives and Friends (7%) > Government/Other Formal Agencies (5%).

Explanation

The data comes directly from the pie chart in Graph 1 of Chapter 3. Students must remember the approximate percentages: Commercial Banks lead overall (51%), but among the four options listed, moneylenders rank highest. Government (other formal agencies) ranks the lowest at ~5%. This is a data-based MCQ — memorise the pie chart figures.
