Solution

The correct option is A increased
In India, absolute number of people employed in Agriculture had increased from the period of independence as the population of India has increased in a high rate. But the percentage of population employed in agricultural sector has decreased. Hence the contribution of agriculture to GDP in absolute terms has also increased from the period of independence to the current date.
