Correct option (a) Increasing the efficiency of farm to-fork value chain is necessary to reduce the **** and malnutrition.*

Explanation:

Option (b) is incorrect because it is too definitive, it says “eliminate ***” which passage does not say.

Option (c) is incorrect because productivity is not discussed.
