Answer 1

The correct option is A Loss of soil fertility due to increased use of chemical fertilisers

The Green Revolution has its own merits and demerits. One such demerit is the loss of soil fertility due to increased use of chemical fertilisers. Other demerits include using tube wells that reduce the water table, using chemical fertilisers that pollute groundwater, and killing bacteria and microorganisms that aid farming.
