Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Use of new technology for expansion in area under crops and increase of production and productivity in agriculture

Green Revolution is having two words – “Green” and “Revolution”. Green stands for greenery whereas revolution stands for sudden and fast changes. This term was used for the progress of agricultural production. It refers to the extraordinary increase in agricultural production, especially in Wheat and Rice. But it does not refer for, increasing the area under forests or for growing more trees.

Thus the correct option is C.
