Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

All multilateral funding agencies such as World Bank, Asian development bank and United Nations have formulated a strict social impact assessment and rehabilitation guidelines which are mandatory for all the urban and rural development projects. These projects can be started only when there are sufficient measures to cater the social and economic losses of local residents based on their vulnerability. However, inspite having such strict guidelines, effective measures are not being taken to eradicate such problem.

Hence, option A is correct
