Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) I, II and III
The CACP was set up to recommend remunerative Minimum Support Prices that (1) stabilize farm‐gate prices, (2) keep farmers’ real incomes viable, and (3) balance producer and consumer interests by ensuring essential foods remain affordable. Seeking the “maximum possible price” for farmers is not in its mandate, so statement IV is wrong; I-III are correct.
