C. Milk
D. Meat

Answer 1

Hint: The Government of India initiated Operation Flood also known as the White Revolution. This development was planned after witnessing the huge success of the Green Revolution which resulted in an immense increase in the production of rice and wheat.

Complete answer:
The White Revolution was one of the world's largest agricultural dairy development programs. As a result of the green revolution, our agricultural industry was able to produce larger quantities of food. The white revolution led to increased production of milk.
Several factors have contributed to increase the production of milk in the country. First, dairy and milk products have cultural significance in Indian diet. A large part of Indian population is lacto-vegetarian, so dairy and milk products are an important source of protein in their diet.
Other demographic and socioeconomic factors, such as urbanization and changing lifestyles and food habits, have also reinforced the growth in demand for dairy products. On the supply side, technological progress in the processing and production sectors, infrastructure and institutional factors play an equally important role. In the Indian dairy sector, small rural producers were linked with urban consumers through producers' cooperatives.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

-From dairy farming, around 10 million farmers earn their income.
