    Direction: Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
    Open defecation is the human practice of defecating outside or in the open environment rather than into a toilet. People may choose fields, bushes, forests, ditches, streets, canals or other open space for defecation. They do so because either they do not have a toilet readily accessible or due to traditional practices. The practice is common where sanitation infrastructure and services are not available. Even if toilets are available, behavior change efforts may still be needed to promote the use of toilets. It is not just the matter of cleanliness but also psychological change. The term "“open defecation free"” (ODF) is used to describe communities that have shifted to using a toilet instead of open defecation. This can happen for example after community-led total sanitation programs have been implemented. Ending open defecation is an indicator being used to measure progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal. Therefore, eliminating open defecation is thought to be an important part of the effort to eliminate poverty.

    A) It is a social shift towards cleanliness

    B) It is a change in psychological state

    C) It is a process of sustainable development

    As in the passage, open defecation is not just the matter of cleanliness but the real matter of psychological change towards the cleanliness and environmental change.
