Correct Answer: Only A and C


Solution : The correct option is Only A and C .

The Green Revolution was characterised by a significant increase in crop productivity through the use of high-yielding varieties of crops, improved agricultural practices, and the application of modern technologies. This increase in productivity often led to a rise in the acreage under cultivation as farmers expanded their fields to take advantage of these new methods and technologies.

Shifting away from commercial farming to subsistence farming is not a characteristic of the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution aimed to increase commercial farming and food production to meet the growing demands of the population.
