Solution

The correct option is B
2 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect:
Some of the major reasons for the low level of productivity in India can be attributed to the following:
  • The small size of landholdings, as the average size of farm holdings, are getting reduced year after year thus, hampering productivity potential.
  • The skewed distribution of rainfall spatially and temporally.
  • Supply chain inefficiencies along with inadequate forward and backward linkages.
  • Poor cropping pattern.
Statement 2 is correct: The majority of the land under agriculture is dependent on the monsoon.
