An innovative India will be inclusive as well as technologically advanced, improving the lives of all Indians. Innovation and R&D can mitigate increases in social inequality and relieve the pressures created by rapid urbanization. The growing divergence in productivity between agriculture and knowledge-intensive manufacturing and services threatens to increase income inequality. By encouraging India’s R&D labs and universities to focus on the needs of poor people and by improving the ability of informal firms to absorb knowledge, an innovation and research agenda can counter this effect. Inclusive innovation can lower the costs of goods and services and create income – earning opportunities for the poor people.

Which among the following is the most logical and rational assumption that can be made from the above passage? 

(a) Innovation and R&D is the only way to reduce rural to urban migration. 

(b) Every rapidly growing country needs to minimize the divergence between productivity in agriculture and other sectors.

(c) Inclusive innovation and R&D can help create an egalitarian society. 

(d) Rapid urbanization takes place only when a country’s economic growth is rapid.
