Directions: Read the following rule criteria and case context carefully to determine the correct course of action.
Conditions for allotment of housing plots to a family:

* A) The family should have at least members and only one married couple in it.
* B) The combined monthly family income should NOT be more than per month.
* C) No member of the family should have a criminal case against him/her.
* D) No member of the family should have benefited from any other subsidy scheme.
* E) No member of the family should own any residential property.

Provisos/Exceptions:

* 1) If B above is violated, but the combined income includes a pension, then the pension amount is deductible.
* 2) If C above is violated, but the member has been released from imprisonment, then the case is referred to the Central Police Station.
* 3) If E above is violated, but they have been living in the same rented property for more than years, it will be treated as an owned residential property.

Case Profile for Family B:
The family consists of a grandfather, his wife, his son, his daughter-in-law, and his grandson ( members). However, there are two married couples in the family: (1) Grandfather & his wife, and (2) Son & daughter-in-law. This explicitly violates Condition A, which states there must be only one married couple in the family. There is no exception or proviso listed for a violation of Condition A.

Decide the course of action for Family B:

  1. A
    Allot plot
  2. B
    Reject plot
  3. C
    Refer to Central Police station
  4. D
    Data inadequate

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze Family B based on the mandatory criteria:
* Condition A: The family has members (satisfies at least 4), but it contains two married couples (Grandfather-Grandmother and Son-Daughter-in-law). Condition A clearly states there must be "only one married couple in it".

Since Family B violates a core mandatory condition (Condition A) and there are no provisos or exceptions provided for condition A, the application must be rejected.
