Correct option is B
The term "Green Revolution" was first coined by William S. Gaud, the then Director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in 1968. He used the term to describe the significant increase in agricultural production resulting from the introduction of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds, particularly wheat and rice, coupled with the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and improved irrigation techniques.
While M.S. Swaminathan and Norman E. Borlaug are closely associated with the Green Revolution in India, particularly for their contributions to the development and spread of HYVs, it was William Gaud who originally coined the term.
