Answer 1

The correct option is B Increase in irrigation facilities

In Gujarat, the main reason for the development of agriculture is the increase in irrigation facilities. Generally, irrigation means supplying water to the fields through the manmade sources like wells, under-ground water, small and big dams etc. This process is called irrigation. There are other projects for irrigation like the Narmada project where water is conserved in dams. Water is supplied to farms through canals.
