B. to provide an example of what one country is doing to address the problems introduced in the article

Explanation:

In the concluding part of the excerpt culled from the article written by Chef Jose Andres, he mentions the plans put in place by the Indian Prime Minister to provide 50 million cook stoves for Indian households in the next three years. This is an example of what a country, India in this case, is doing to solve the problems caused by other crude modes of cooking.

Some of the dangers caused by crude methods of cooking are health challenges such as pneumonia, lung cancer, as well as heart diseases. Absenteeism from school by young girls is another challenge. In the article, the Chef proposes cook stoves as an effective means of curbing these challenges.
