Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan is an Indian geneticist. He is known for his leading role in the Indian green revolution. Under this green revolution program, high-yield varieties of wheat and rice seedlings were planted in the fields of poor farmers. A semi-dwarf variety of wheat was used for cultivation and the wheat production increased from 2 ton per hectare to 6 ton per hectare between 1960 and 1970. In 2006 this number increased to 4.5 million ton. Thus the correct answer is option C.
