Solution

The correct option is C Most of India’s population was dependent on agriculture for its income.
The Planning Commission adopted the Five-Year Plan from 1951 to 1956. Its main focus was on agricultural development as India was primarily an agricultural country. Most of India’s population was dependent on agriculture for their income. Thus, it prioritised the agricultural sector.
