Direction: In the following passage, some of the words have been made bold, each of which is preceded by a letter. Find the suitable word from the options given below that could replace the bold word so as to make the paragraph meaningful.
Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan’s note of caution on the next financial crisis that could be building up needs to be taken in all ___A___ consideration. In his note to Parliament’s Estimates Committee on bank non-performing assets (NPAs), Mr. Rajan has ___B___ established three major sources of potential trouble: Mudra credit, which is basically small-ticket loans granted to micro and small enterprises; ___C___ contributing to farmers through Kisan Credit Cards; and contingent liabilities under the Credit Guarantee Scheme for MSMEs, run by the Small Industries Development Bank of India. The disbursement under Mudra loans alone is ?6.37 lakh crore, which is over 7% of the total outstanding bank credit. These loans have been ___D___ sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, which aims to ‘fund the unfunded’, and is a ___E___ signature scheme of the NDA government. Given that these are small loans up to Rs10 lakh each, with the borrowers mostly from the informal sector, banks have to monitor them very closely. It is ___F___ debatable whether banks have the resources and manpower to do this when they are chasing the bigger borrowers for business and, increasingly these days, recoveries. The ___G___ risk is that these small-ticket loans will drop under the radar and build into a large credit issue in course of time. The same ___H___ function holds true for crop loans made through Kisan Credit Cards. Mr. Rajan’s advice on loan waivers has been made by him and others in the past. But the political class has chosen to turn a ___I___ deaf ear to this advice, vitiating the credit culture and creating a moral hazard where farmer-borrowers assume that their loans will ___J___ intentionally be waived off. The former RBI Governor has strongly defended the RBI against criticism, often unfair, over its policies on NPA recognition and resolution.

Correct Answer is (c).According to the given context, the former RBI governor has pointed to three possible areas where the bad loan issue may go worse in the future. These issues should be taken seriously by the government, according to the author. The given word is not correct since it is not about establishing some truth but the former RBI governor has only pointed out the issues. Among the given options, A is out of context since utilized means using something properly whereas determined in Option B is also not correct since that means being very single-minded about doing something. Guessed could have been the right answer had there been no explanation for the reasons cited by the former RBI boss. Only C can come in place of the blank so that it implies the meaning intended. This makes option C the correct choice among the given options.
