One of the dismal realities of the agricultural sector in independent India has been that it never experienced a high-growth phase, unlike the non-agricultural economy. The highest decadal growth (compound annual growth rate or CAGR) for agriculture has been just 3.5% in the 1980s. Also, after experiencing a spurt in decadal growth during the 1980s, agricultural growth suffered relative stagnation thereafter. This is in sharp contrast to non-agricultural growth, which consistently increased from the 1980s to 2000s.

Which one of the following statements best reflects the corollary to the above passage ?

A

The benefit of economic reforms percolates down more slowly to the agriculture sector than in other sectors of the economy.

B

For India, the green revolution was not as useful as it was expected to be.

C

India lagged behind other countries in adapting mechanized and modern farming.

D

Rural-to-urban migration resulted in the stagnant agriculture sector.
