Solution

The correct option is C Agriculture
The First Five-Year Plan was one of the most important, because it had a great role in the launching of Indian development after Independence. Thus, it strongly supported agriculture production and also launched the industrialization of the country (but less than the Second Plan, which focused on heavy industries). The main focus of the first five-year plan was the agricultural development of the country. Agriculture is still the backbone of the Indian economy in terms of employment generation. Areas like capital goods increased 158%, consumer goods increased by 87%, and total industrial output increased by 118%. ... The first five-year plan also began to prepare the Soviet Union to win in the Second World War
