A. Infrastructure failures are mainly caused by natural disasters
B. Public infrastructure rarely requires maintenance after construction
C. Ignored technical warnings and weak accountability can lead to disasters
D. Private companies alone should manage all bridges
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The Vikramshila bridge collapse highlighted that infrastructure disasters usually develop gradually because warnings are ignored over time. Inspections had reportedly identified cracks and poor structural conditions earlier, but timely corrective action was missing. This reflects weak maintenance systems and lack of accountability. Modern infrastructure governance requires continuous audits, preventive maintenance, and institutional responsibility rather than only focusing on new construction projects.

A. Reducing agricultural production
