Question

While adopting an innovation in agriculture, farmers go through the following four stages in the mental process
(A) Awareness (B) Interest (C) Action (D) Satisfaction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (C), (B), (D).
• B. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C).
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A).

Hint:

Think about the natural psychological order of noticing, then wanting, then acting.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The classic adoption process taught in agricultural extension follows a clear mental sequence: a farmer first becomes Aware that a new practice exists, then develops Interest and starts seeking more information about it, moves to Action by actually trying or adopting it, and finally reaches a stage of Satisfaction based on how well it worked out.
This Awareness-Interest-Action-Satisfaction order mirrors the standard adoption-diffusion models used in extension education.
So the correct sequence is (A), (B), (C), (D), which is option 2.
