Question

Green Revolution is associated with-

• A. Water
• B. Industry
• C. Information
• D. Agriculture

Hint:

The Green Revolution drastically increased food production in countries like India, changing the way agriculture is practiced worldwide.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Green Revolution is the name given to the period of major farming reform driven by high-yield seeds, fertilisers, and improved irrigation.
Industry and information have no historical connection to this term, and water, while used for irrigation within the Revolution, is only one tool inside it, not what the Revolution as a whole is named after.
The term itself refers to the transformation of agriculture.
So, the correct answer is Agriculture.

Answer 2

Comparing this to the other named "revolutions" in Indian development history, each one is tied to a specific sector, so matching sectors to their revolutions clarifies this one too:

1. Water: Not the namesake of any of the standard named revolutions, it appears only as a supporting input.
2. Industry: Industrial growth periods are referred to by other names in Indian economic history, not "Green Revolution".
3. Information: The information and technology boom is referred to by different terms altogether, unconnected to this one.
4. Agriculture: Just as the White Revolution names dairy and milk production, the Green Revolution names the transformation of agriculture and food-grain production.

Placing the Green Revolution alongside its sibling "revolutions" confirms which sector it names.

Therefore, the correct answer is Agriculture.
