Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) It were the farmers
It-cleft (विदलित वाक्य) में कृत्रिम It सदा एकवचन होता है, इसलिए क्रिया was होगी, भले ही the farmers बहुवचन है। बहुवचन संज्ञा केवल who के बाद की क्रिया तय करती है।
✓
It was the farmers who wanted the government to increase the Minimum Selling Price.
सरल अर्थ: सरकार से न्यूनतम बिक्री मूल्य बढ़ाने की माँग किसानों ने ही की थी।
In an It-cleft the dummy It is always singular, so the verb is was, even though the farmers is plural. The plural noun only decides the verb after who.
✓
It was the farmers who wanted the government to increase the Minimum Selling Price.
