Solution

The correct option is A wheat
Norman Borlaug experimented with various strains of wheat and successfully implemented the disease-resistant strain of wheat in Mexico. Next, Borlaug used this high-yielding wheat variety in India. As a result, wheat production increased by 60%. India became agriculturally self-sufficient. However, the Green Revolution did not succeed as there was excess production of rice and wheat.
