Given:

 A heavy unseasonal downpour during the last two days has paralysed the normal life in the state in which five persons were killed but this has provided a huge relief to the problem of acute water crisis in the state.

Course of Action A :Setting up a committee to review the situation is a logical step to assess the impact and plan for future incidents. It addresses the need for proactive governance and preparedness.

Hence, A follows.

Course of Action B. Removing all the restrictions on the use of potable water may not be wise just because of one heavy downpour. The water crisis might be relieved temporarily, but it does not mean water availability has been completely resolved.

Hence, B does not follow.

Course of Action C. Sending relief supplies to all the affected areas is a necessary and immediate action to address the hardships faced by the people due to the downpour.

Hence, C follows.

Thus, Only Courses of Action A and C logically follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
