Glucose syrup is commonly produced by hydrolyzing starch, most often derived from maize (corn). Sugar cane and beet root are sources of sucrose, not starch, so they are not typical raw materials for glucose syrup production.

According to the Federal Investigation Agency Act, 1974 (FIA Act), specifically section 5(5), if a member of the FIA conducting an investigation apprehends that any property which is the subject matter of the investigation is likely to be removed, transferred or otherwise disposed of before an order of the appropriate authority for its seizure is obtained, such member may issue a written order restraining the owner or any person in possession of the property from removing, transferring or disposing of it except with the prior permission of that member. This order is subject to any order made by the court having jurisdiction in the matter. Therefore, the authority to issue an order to restrain the transfer of property under investigation is a member of the Agency (FIA), not the Federal Government directly or the Ministry of Interior. The Federal Government constitutes the FIA and has superintendence over it, but the power to issue such restraining orders is delegated to members of the Agency conducting the investigation. Hence, the correct answer is B: Member of the Agency.

Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the percentage reading at least one magazine is 45% + 55% + 40% - 30% - 15% - 25% + 10% = 80%. Therefore, the percentage not reading any magazine is 100% - 80% = 20%. However, since 20% is option C, the correct answer is C, not A. Recalculating carefully: 45 + 55 + 40 = 140; subtract pairs: 30 + 15 + 25 = 70; add triple: 10; total = 140 - 70 + 10 = 80%. So 20% do not read any magazine, which matches option C.
