A Correct answer
Explanation

Arjun's declining academic performance and irritability are directly linked to his living conditions - a family of eight (six siblings + parents) in a single room creates severe resource constraints. Lack of privacy, study space, and quiet time for homework profoundly impact a child's ability to focus and learn. Economic stress also affects cognitive performance. Options B, C, and D are unsupported assumptions not grounded in the scenario.
