Question No 14.Read the following passage and answer the question that follows."The Diabetes Epidemic in Urban India" headlines a report recently released by the Ministry of Health. The report draws attention to a worrying trend: a 30% increase in the number of diagnosed diabetes cases in urban areas compared to the previous year. Experts within the report point to a significant shift in dietary habits as a primary culprit, with an increased consumption of fast food and sugary drinks being particularly highlighted. This dietary change, coupled with a sedentary lifestyle common in urban settings, is seen as a key factor driving the rise in diabetes prevalence among the urban population. The report's findings have sparked concerns about a growing health crisis, suggesting that the modern urban lifestyle is increasingly becoming a health hazard.Which one of the following, if true, MOST seriously weakens the argument?A)  Urban residents have shown a growing preference for fast food and high-calorie diets, which are known risk factors for developing diabetes.B)  The majority of new diabetes cases are being reported in individuals aged between 40 and 60 years, a demographic that constitutes a large portion of the urban population.C)  There has been a significant increase in health awareness campaigns, leading to more people in urban areas getting screened and diagnosed for diabetes.D)  Many urban centres have launched initiatives to encourage healthier living, including diet modification and exercise programs, to combat the rise in diabetes.E)  Genetic research indicates that a small proportion of individuals are predisposed to diabetes, accounting for a significant number of the new cases in urban areas.

The incidence of type 1 diabetes has been increasing. What is the most likely cause?Group of answer choicesInteractions between our genetics and changes in the environment.An increase in the diagnosis of people with the disease.An increase in travel.A population change in our genetics.
