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 farmers are under the impression that their loans will certainly be waived off by the government and that is why most of their loans turn into bad assets. This is not a good sign for the banking system as a whole. The given word is not correct since it means that the farm loans are waived off deliberately by the government though the context does not imply this. Among the given options, A is out of context whereas tantalizingly in Option B implies having something that provokes interest but remains beyond the reach of the person ultimately. Option D is also not correct in this blank whereas C can be placed in the blank as it implies certainly, which fits the context correctly. This makes option C the correct choice among the given options.
