Which of the following factors is/are causing a decrease in hydro energy and an increase in agricultural demand for lift irrigation?

Explanation

Among the given statements, only (a) and (b) are correct. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice. Refer to the starting lines of the first paragraph, “Electricity consumption has been growing rapidly in spite of serious supply constraints caused by delays in implementing new capacity additions, lower utilization of existing capacity due to maintenance problems, coal and oil availability, and drought conditions, which simultaneously reduced hydro energy availability and increased agricultural demand for lift irrigation.”
