  1. a.exportable surplus in food production.

Answer: (B) food security.

The Green Revolution of the mid-1960s was launched after severe food shortages and dependence on PL-480 imports, to make India self-sufficient in foodgrains — that is, to ensure food security. Technology (HYV seeds, fertilisers) was the means, not the aim, and environmental sustainability was not its goal.
