Reading Comprehension Passage / Context

Passage - 3 Diarrhoea is a major killer of children in developing countries. Children with severe acute malnutrition who suffer from diarrhoea are at high risk of death. Most cases of diarrhoea are caused by water contaminated with human faeces. Rotavirus, for instance, is the leading cause of severe diarrhoea in infants and young children worldwide. While vaccines against rotavirus are available, they cannot prevent all types of diarrhoea. Safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and hygiene remain the primary barriers to preventing infection and disease transmission.

On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :

1
Food safety is a complex issue that calls for a multipronged solution.
2
Great investments need to be made in developing the manpower for surveillance and training.
3
India needs to make sufficient legislation for governing food processing industry.
