Solution

The correct option is D The production of millets reduces.
With the increase in the Minimum Support Prices of certain crops, the farmers tend to produce more of those crops. However, excessive production of that particular crop reduces the production of other crops. And since the same type of crops are made in surplus, the specific nutrients in the soil get exploited. Additionally, when the crops are stored for long periods, the quality deteriorates.
