Explanation:

Only inference I follows. The given statement says that 17 million children in US suffer from psychiatric disorders but there are less than 60,000 beds to accommodate them. From here we can clearly infer that the US government does not give too much importance to the issue of mental health or
the ratio of children suffering and the number of beds available for them wouldn’t have been so poor. Inferences II and III contain extraneous information that cannot be deduced from what is given. Besides mentioning that funding is limited for mental health issues, II also points out that it is limited for medical aid in general, which cannot be inferred from the given statement. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
