Passage 2 highlights the severe crisis of child malnutrition in India, stunting, and its long-term impacts on education and lifetime earnings. Evaluating the practical implications: 1. Public Distribution System monitoring by the Union Government is an administrative measure, but not the most direct implication of malnutrition causes highlighted. 2. Girls delaying marriage and first pregnancy helps improve maternal and child health, reducing malnutrition. 3. Immediate breastfeeding after birth provides essential colostrum and nutrients, combating early malnutrition. 4. Safe drinking water and proper sanitation prevent waterborne infections that cause diarrhea and malabsorption, directly addressing malnutrition. 5. Prescribed vaccination prevents infectious diseases that exacerbate malnutrition. Thus, implications 2, 3, 4, and 5 are direct, rational, and practical measures to combat child malnutrition and stunting as outlined in the passage. Option (b) is correct.
