Question

Why is there a need to improve the yield of food grains?

• A. The population of India is growing rapidly.
• B. The amount of cultivable land has reached its limit.
• C. There is a shortage of water resources needed for irrigation.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

None of these

The population of India is definitely increasing. But proportionally, the amount of cultivatable land is not increasing.
All cultivable land in India is already intensively cultivated, so there is a need to bring in new technology to improve yield of food grains from existing resources.
Measuring the appetite of the population is not the quantitative criteria.
