Passage

Climate adaptation may be rendered ineffective if policies are not designed in the context of other development concerns. For instance, a comprehensive strategy that seeks to improve food security in the context of climate change may include a set of coordinated measures related to agricultural extension, crop diversification, integrated water and pest management and agricultural information services. Some of these measures may have to do with climate changes and others with economic development.

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Statement A is incorrect. The passage does not suggest that climate adaptation is difficult in developing countries, but rather that it must be integrated with other development concerns.

Statement B is incorrect. The passage does not claim that food security is more complex than climate adaptation; instead, it emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach.

Statement C is incorrect. While many development activities may be linked to climate adaptation, the passage does not state that every development activity is directly or indirectly related to it.

Statement D is correct. The passage clearly suggests that climate adaptation must be considered alongside economic development concerns, such as food security, water management, and agricultural extension. This makes option (D) the most logical inference.
