The paragraph mainly based on the control of harmful drugs and it should be reduced in various ways. so answer D is correct than the other options

priya, i think you have not read the para with concentration. It is clearly mentioned that 'the consumption of drug can not be prevented only by banning their sells but by applying other methods as well.' so i think option B is more closer than option D because we can predict from the para that consuption of drugs can be always reduced nt eliminated by applying various methods. So, option B is correct.

In the first line itself it is given that 'the consumption of drug can not be prevented only by banning their sells but by applying other methods as well. So the answer is wrong.

The passage morely tells that the way of preventing comsumption of drugs is banning its sale. Others are supporting measures taken to reduce its consumption. So the major priority is given to the statement D.

Ajit, you are right, and both priya and neha, read the last line of para. The last line of the paragraph is totally in favour of option B.

I don't think the answer mentioned in the site is right as the paragraph clearly talks about ways other than banning the sale of drugs which can be useful to decrease the consumption of drugs. This means in total, the paragraph believes in the concept that consumption of drugs cab be reduced which is clearly indicated in option B. So Option B is the right answer.

"The consumption of harmful drugs by the people can be prevented not only by banning their sale in the market..."
This clearly states that consumption of drugs can be prevented by two methods.so i think option D

@ Nikninja : the last line describes the use of proper medical facilities for their rehabilitation to scale down use of drugs. but the 1st lines describe the ways to prevent drugs.
so OPTION D
so OPTION D

Option B should be the answer as according to the statement the prevention of drugs is not only the main area of focus here. It is the reduction of drug usage along with prevention.
