Till recently, weight-loss drugs have been an elite privilege, creating a class system among those battling obesity and diabetes and setting new aspirational benchmarks for a healthy life. Manufacturers have now lowered their prices to tap into a booming health-conscious market in India. Despite repeated clarification that the efficacy of the drug is co-dependent on diet, lifestyle corrections, fitness routines and, most importantly, baseline fitness and health, the drug is seen as manna from heaven. ______________________________________________________________. This leads to the individual surrendering to a false sense of well-being.

The passage criticises the perception that weight-loss drugs alone suffice, despite "the efficacy of the drug is co-dependent on diet, lifestyle corrections, fitness routines." The closing line says this leads to "surrendering to a false sense of well-being."

Why Option 3 (correct): "The once-a-week jab is seen as a convenience obviating the need for any other action" — exactly the false perception that *replaces* lifestyle effort, leading to the false sense of well-being.

Why other options fail:

• Option 1: makes a positive statement about weight loss; doesn't fit the critical tone.
• Option 2: mentions side-effects, but the passage's concern is *complacency about lifestyle*, not side-effects.
• Option 4: about celebrities — narrower than the masses-targeted argument.
