Statement–Courses of Action (pilgrim hypothermia risk on mountain shrine route): Every year many devotees die from severe cold en route to a shrine located atop a mountain range; assess which measure(s) follow—(I) discourage travel without proper warm clothing and essential amenities, (II) the government should provide warm clothes and shelter to all devotees—evaluating feasibility and targeted prevention.

Given data

• Risk: Severe cold exposure on a mountainous pilgrimage claims many lives annually.
• Course I: Dissuade devotees lacking adequate gear and amenities; enforce preparedness.
• Course II: Government to provide warm clothing and shelter to all devotees.

Concept / ApproachAn action should be practical, scalable, and directly reduce risk. Personal preparedness is the primary defence in high-altitude cold.

Step-by-step evaluationStep 1: Course I directly addresses the cause (inadequate protection) and is implementable via advisories, checkpoints, and minimum-gear rules.Step 2: Course II demands universal provisioning by the state, which is financially and logistically impractical and not implied by the statement.

Verification / Alternative checkAuthorities can add shelters on routes, but blanket clothing provision for all pilgrims is not a necessary consequence of the problem statement.

Common pitfalls

• Confusing supportive facilities with full state responsibility for personal gear.

Final AnswerOnly I follows.
