Correct option is A

Both rice and wheat are associated with the Green Revolution in India and the use of High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds.
· During the 1960s and 1970s, the Indian government, in collaboration with international organizations, launched a series of initiatives aimed at increasing agricultural productivity and reducing food insecurity. One of the key strategies employed was the adoption of HYV seeds, which were developed through selective breeding and were capable of producing higher yields than traditional seeds.
· Wheat was one of the first crops to be targeted by these efforts, and the introduction of HYV wheat varieties led to significant increases in production and yields. Rice was also a major focus of the Green Revolution, and the adoption of HYV rice varieties helped to transform agriculture in many parts of India.
