Hi Aishwarya, the correct answer is (d)Explanation:The passage mentions a 'minor error' on one estate leading to the decertification of the entire cluster of Assam Company estates. Option (d) accurately captures this cause-and-effect relationship, highlighting the disproportionate impact of a small mistake.Let's break down why the other options are not suitable for the question about the Rainforest Alliance decertification:(a) The standards of the Rainforest Alliance were too stringent.The passage doesn't suggest that the standards themselves were the problem. The issue was with a 'minor error' in implementation on one estate, not the standards being overly demanding(b) The Assam Company had indulged in deliberate deforestation.There is no mention of deliberate deforestation in the passage. The decertification stemmed from a 'minor error', implying unintentional non-compliance.(c) The Rainforest Alliance was biased against large corporations.The passage doesn't hint at any bias. It focuses on the specific incident of the Assam Company and the 'single cluster' rule, which seems to apply uniformly regardless of company size.Therefore, (d) is the most accurate option as it aligns with the information provided in the passage: a minor error on one estate triggering the decertification of the entire cluster due to the 'single cluster' rule.
