Question

Read the passage and answer the question. Passage: In less than a decade, e-commerce has moved from a curiosity of city shoppers to a daily habit in small-town India. A farmer in a village can now order a spare part for a pump, a student can buy textbooks that no local shop stocks, and a weaver can sell a sari directly to a customer a thousand kilometres away. The change has been driven by cheap smartphones, low-cost data and delivery networks that reach deep into the districts. For sellers, the online market removes the middleman and the cost of a shop; for buyers, it offers choice and comparison that a single market street could never provide. Yet the boom has a cost. Small shopkeepers complain that they cannot match online discounts, delivery workers face long hours for low pay, and returned goods create mountains of packaging waste. The challenge for policymakers is to keep the benefits, wider choice, better prices and new livelihoods, while protecting the shopkeepers and workers who make the system run. How does the online market help a weaver?

3.
By buying all her saris at a fixed price
