Both I and II follow because Course of action I addresses the problem from a policy and standards perspective, while Course of action II addresses it from a consumer awareness standpoint, and both are logical and complementary steps to combat micronutrient malnutrition. I. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India FSSAI should release a set of standards and focus on awareness and consensus building This is a practical step as establishing standards for food and building consensus around those standards provides a framework for addressing the problem systemically. II. The consumers should be made aware that deficiencies can have serious effects This is a crucial step because the statement highlights that even healthy-looking people can be malnourished. Educating consumers about the specific health consequences of micronutrient deficiencies like iron deficiency during pregnancy or Vitamin A deficiency motivates them to change their diets and seek out the right nutrients.

I should release a set of standards and focus on awareness and consensus building. II. The consumers should be made aware that deficiencies can have serious effects like, iron deficiency leads to critical problems during pregnancy, and not enough Vitamin A can lead to poor vision, infections, and skin problems.
