Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A India is facing a drastic increase in population
B

India is already extensively cultivated and area under cultivation cannot be increased

India is one of the most populated countries in the world and to meet the food demands of such a vast population a vigorous increase in food production is needed. Food production can be increased by either increasing the area under agriculture or by increasing the yield from the existing fields. Since India is already extensively cultivated, it is important to improve the yield from existing agricultural lands. Along with this, increase in the production from animal husbandry will also aid in meeting the food demand.
