Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 5.4 percent, 7.6 percent.
The actual growth rate of the Ninth Five-Year Plan (1997-2002) was 5.4%, while the growth rate of the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2002-2007) was 7.6%. The Ninth Plan aimed for a growth rate of 6.5%, but actual performance was slightly below this target. In contrast, the Tenth Plan set a target of 8.1% but achieved a growth rate of 7.6%, reflecting notable progress in economic development despite not fully meeting the initial targets.
