• C. Use of bio - composting and bio fertilizers
• D. Largely depended on monsoons

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Use of High yielding Variety Seeds

• The Green Revolution was primarily characterized by the large-scale adoption of high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds which helped boost agricultural production, especially in crops like wheat and rice.

• It did not mainly focus on the production of pepper; rather, it revolutionized staple food grains such as wheat and rice.

• The revolution relied more on chemical fertilizers and pesticides than bio-composting or bio-fertilizers.

• One of its major advantages was a reduced dependency on the monsoon through irrigation and modern farming techniques.
