Explanation
Per the standard formulation used in this examination, social security’s cash benefits cover sickness and disability, unemployment, and crop failure (1, 2, 3). Loss of the marital partner is addressed through survivors’ or family benefits under a different head, so it is excluded here. Hence 1, 2 and 3 only — option (A).
