Answer 1

The correct option is A Crops and Livestock

Five Year Plan (FYP) has focused to encompass 4% growth in agriculture. Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012) has emphasized on agriculture and rural development. Many policy measures have been initiated to address the issues of agrarian distress. During the Eleventh FYP, agriculture sector in India grew at the rate of 3.3 percent per annum which is higher than 2.4 percent per annum in 10th Five Year Plan. This is largely due to the better performance of crops and livestock. Special programs like National Food Security mission and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yozana (RKVY) improved the growth rate.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Crops and Livestock.'
