Solution

The correct option is D Increase cultivation of wheat and rice
The term Green Revolution refers to the large increase in the production of food grains resulting from the use of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, especially for wheat and rice.

It was implemented because, at independence, about 75% of the country’s population was dependent on agriculture. But the productivity in the agricultural sector was very low because of the use of old technology and the absence of required infrastructure for the vast majority of farmers.
