• A. Didactic
• B. Descriptive
• C. Satirical
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Descriptive

The tone of the passage is indeed descriptive. It provides a detailed account of the issue of fairness products targeting Indian consumers, the societal pressures associated with skin tone, the historical context of skin-whitening products, as well as the efforts of activists and critics to challenge these norms. The passage primarily aims to describe and inform the reader about the situation regarding fairness products in India, rather than explicitly conveying a critical or satirical viewpoint.
