    1. The correct answer is (a). Mohan’s debt will increase over time because the landowner charges a high interest rate of 5% per month. Since Mohan repays through labour instead of cash, his repayment does not fully cover the interest. As months pass, unpaid interest keeps adding up, trapping him in a cycle of debt and economic dependency on the landowner.
