A. Latest data from the National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4) show that in most of the States for which data is available, overweight men and women far outnumber underweight ones, in some instances double the number.
B. Health and nutrition are two areas where India’s achievements have not been quite up to the mark during the previous era of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly given the high economic growth in the last decade.
C. At the same time, India is undergoing simultaneous transitions.
D. In parallel, a nutritional transition is happening — earlier, India was characterised by a high prevalence of undernutrition, but this era has also brought a double burden of undernutrition as well as overnutrition.
E. A health SDG index released in September by The Lancet ranked India at 143 among 188 countries and in the Global Hunger Index published by the International Food Policy Research Institute in October, India is ranked 97th among a total of 118 countries, signifying a high level of hunger and undernutrition.

Correct answer
A. A
Step-by-step solution
If we read all the sentences carefully, we can observe that while the two sentences B and E discuss India’s current status in terms of Health and nutrition, the sentences C and D talk about how India, at present, is transitioning into era of double burden of undernutrition as well as overnutrition.
The sentence A, however, doesn’t align to either chain of ideas as it starts a discussion on the level of obesity between men and women across Indian states.
Option A is hence the correct answer.
