Answer:

D. Punjab

Read Explanation:

Punjab was the state in India most positively impacted by the Green Revolution. It was an endeavor initiated by Norman Borlaug in the 1960s. He is known as the 'Father of Green Revolution' in the world. It led to him winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his work in developing High Yielding Varieties (HYVs) of wheat. In India, the Green Revolution was mainly led by M.S. Swaminathan. The Green Revolution resulted in a great increase in the production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) due to the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding variety seeds, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The Green Revolution, spreading over the period from 1967-68 to 1977-78, changed India's status from a food-deficient country to one of the world's leading agricultural nations. The green revolution in India refers to a period when Indian Agriculture was converted into an industrial system due to the adoption of modern methods and technology such as the use of HYV seeds, tractors, irrigation facilities, pesticides, and fertilizers.
