Which of the following pairs of revolution in agriculture sector and its production are correctly matched? 1. Pink revolution : Shrimp production 2. Yellow revolution : Oilseeds production 3. Black revolution : Biodiesel production 4. Golden revolution : Egg production

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The agricultural revolutions in India represent targeted growth in specific sectors. The Pink Revolution is correctly matched with shrimp (prawn) production, as well as onions and meat processing modernization [3]. The Yellow Revolution, launched in the late 1980s, focused on achieving self-sufficiency in oilseeds production. The Black Revolution is associated with increasing crude oil and petroleum production, which includes the acceleration of biodiesel and ethanol production [3]. However, the Golden Revolution is incorrectly matched with egg production; it actually pertains to horticulture, honey, and fruit production [3]. Egg and poultry production are instead associated with the Silver Revolution [3]. Therefore, only pairs 1, 2, and 3 are correctly matched, making option 1 the correct choice.
