Why do people prefer open defecation and not want toilets or, if they have them, only use them sometimes? Recent research has shown two critical elements : ideas of purity and pollutions, and not wanting pits or septic tanks to fill they have to be emptied. These are the issue that nobody wants to talk about, but if we want to eradicate the practice of open defection, they have to be confronted and dealt properly.

Which among the following is the most crucial message conveyed by the above passage? 

(a) The ideas of purity and pollutions are so deep-rooted that they cannot be removed from the minds of the people. 

(b) People have to perceive toilet use and pit-emptying as clean and not polluting. 

(c) People cannot change their old habits. 

(d) People have neither civic sense nor sense of privacy.
