• D. Provision of high protein diet as the staple diet.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Reduction in the production of dry land grains and millets.

The Green Revolution in India predominantly produced wheat and rice. This made rice and wheat available in abundance and at cheap prices. This made people replace other food grains with rice and wheat in their diet. In fact, these became the staple food for many. This shift led to reduced production of dry land grains and millets.
