Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Green Revolution in India refers to a period of significant increase in agricultural production during the 1960s and 1970s.
It was driven by the introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds, chemical fertilizers, and improved irrigation techniques.
This revolution helped India achieve self-sufficiency in food grains, particularly wheat and rice.
The Green Revolution did not focus on conservation or renewable energy resources, and it primarily impacted the agricultural sector, not industry.
