Solution

The correct option is A Dr. Norman Borlaug
Green Revolution is the renovation of agricultural practices that began in Mexico in 1940s. The beginning of Green Revolution is often attributed to Norman Borlaug, an American scientist. In the 1940s, he began conducting research in Mexico and developed new disease resistance high-yielding varieties of wheat. By combining Borlaug's wheat varieties with new mechanized agricultural technologies, Mexico was able to produce more wheat than was needed by its own citizens, leading to it becoming an exporter of wheat by the 1960s.
