Q62. Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical and practical message conveyed by the passage?

A. It is necessary to put proper effluent treatment protocols in place.✓ Correct
B. It is necessary to promote environmental awareness among people.
C. Spread of drug-resistant bacteria cannot be done away with, as it is inherent in modern medical care.
D. Pharma-manufacturing companies should be set up in remote rural areas, away from crowded towns and cities.

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

The passage explicitly identifies the lack of waste treatment by antibiotics-manufacturing companies as a significant environmental issue leading to drug-resistant infections. Therefore, the most direct, logical, and practical message conveyed is the imperative to implement proper effluent treatment protocols to address this specific source of pollution.

Option (B) is too general and doesn't target the specific problem highlighted. Option (C) presents a pessimistic view not supported by the passage, which implies a solvable problem.

Option (D) suggests relocation, which is a less direct and practical solution compared to treating waste at the source, as implied by the passage's focus on untreated waste.
