Answer 1

Hint: Different revolutions pertain to the reforms brought upon different fields. In most cases, they are named after the color of the products that are involved. Out of this the green revolution was one of the earliest initiatives that occurred between the 1950s and the late 1960s.

Complete answer:
The different color revolutions involved different industries.
-The green revolution which was one of the first of such reforms, involved the production of high-yielding varieties and disease-resistant varieties of seeds and crops, which resulted in increased agricultural production. This was done to combat food scarcity and to increase the revenue of the agricultural sector.
-The yellow revolution involved a sudden increase in the production of edible oil due to a direct consequence of the green revolution as there was an increase in hybrid seeds and high-yielding varieties of oil seeds such as mustard, sesame, etc. It also involved the complementary technologies for oil production.
-The blue revolution involved the adoption of programs to increase the yield of the fisheries industry and to increase the production of marine and fish products. The blue revolution caused a huge boom in aquaculture and also promoted extremely productive agriculture.
-The white revolution involved an enhanced production of milk and was also called the operation flood. It also caused an increase in the animal input into the dairy industry. This revolution resulted in a huge increase in the productivity of the dairy industry.
So, the correct answer is, “1 – D, 2 – A, 3 – B, 4 – C”

Note: -Norman Borlaug was known as the father of the green revolution for introducing a disease-resistant variety of wheat.
-In India, Dr. Verghese Kurien is called the father of the Milk revolution. Anand Milk Union Limited or AMUL as we know was the brain-child of Dr. Verghese Kurien and is a product of the milk revolution.
-All these revolutions are also called color revolutions and they are interlinked to each other to some extent.
