B) Greater intensity of Cropping
C) Guaranteed maximum prices
D) New agricultural technology

View Answer

C) Guaranteed maximum prices

Explanation : Guaranteed maximum prices (GMP) was not a part of the agriculture strategy that brought about the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution mainly focused on increasing agricultural productivity through the use of modern inputs such as high-yielding varieties, irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides to ensure food security in the face of population growth and food scarcity. GMPs were introduced later in India as a means to support farmers and stabilize prices, but they were not a part of the original Green Revolution strategy.
