According to me, 1 is a feasible solution because, if someone's crop is damaged due to rain, then there are 2 things that are facing loss. Rabi itself and the farmers as Rain issue is not in anybody's hands.
1. Grant relief - it follows because it solves the issue to some extent.
2. Free seed and fertiliser - may look dumb, but it's practical and improves the future scope.
3. Waive loan away - very impractical, it can only happen in movies.
Not practical and also gives rise to a new issue, which is degradation in the government's resources. Cause 1 is being taken, which means the compensation is already being provided, and over that, waving the loan away doesn’t make sense to me.
So, I guess only 1 and 2 follow.

I think only Action A is correct. Providing seeds and fertilizers for the next season is pretty dumb.
Also, Action 3 says their loans should be waived off, but that is not a complete relief since they have to take care of their expenses and all the hard work they did. Here, it's not mentioned about the people who didn't take any loans.

I don't think (3) is fair. What about the farmers that did not take loans for the rabi crop? Do they deserve less compensation from the government?
