I think it should be option B.

It could be also E. The common cause is the neglect of primary education in rural areas.

Also, data is not sufficient to conclude that dropouts have been on the rise because of only one teacher teaching in schools. The cause of Dropouts could be also because of other major reasons. Eg: non-availability of mid-day meals etc.

Indeed, it can also be other way round. Moreover, dropout of female children are also associated with society and traditions of the families at large.

Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Because there's a huge dropout (of teachers as well as students) from the primary schools in rural areas, large number of Primary Schools in the rural areas are run by only one teacher.
