Solution

The correct option is C Rainfall
After independence, India’s agricultural sector was so backward that the level of productivity was extremely low. This was because farmers lacked basic irrigation facilities. They relied on inconsistent rainfall for irrigation. Hence, improving irrigation and other facilities were some of the main objectives of the Five-Year Plans.
