Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Decreased dependence on food imports.
The Green Revolution in India led to a decreased dependence on food imports.
The Green Revolution, which began in the 1960s, introduced high-yielding crop varieties, modern irrigation techniques, and the use of chemical fertilizers, leading to a significant increase in agricultural production, especially of wheat and rice. This increase in domestic production meant India needed to import less food.
