Help me out in finding the conclusion of the following paragraph.

Some universities are changing the structure of financial aid awards given
to students who cannot afford to pay full tuition. In the past, the largest
proportion of financial aid distributed to students was in the form of federal,
interest-deferred loans. Now, these institutions are awarding a higher
proportion of grants, money that students do not need to pay back.

Clock is a device which is used to see time !! So Time is one of the output of Clock .
Similarly if we see all options except 1. watch: wrist are having relationship similar to original pair !!!
So my take is 1) watch : wrist
