Correct answer: D
Concept
Colour revolutions are shorthand labels for major increases in the production of particular commodities or sectors.
A classification question is solved by recalling the commodity attached to each colour label and matching the target commodity by value.
Application
The target commodity is oilseeds. The standard association for the Yellow Revolution is the expansion of edible-oilseed production.
Revolution | Standard production association |
|---|---|
Black Revolution | Petroleum and crude oil |
Golden Revolution | Horticulture and honey |
Blue Revolution | Fish production and aquaculture |
Yellow Revolution | Oilseeds |
Contrast
Black Revolution refers to petroleum or crude-oil production, not oilseeds.
Golden Revolution refers to horticulture and honey production, not oilseeds.
Blue Revolution refers to fish production and aquaculture, not oilseeds.
Yellow Revolution refers to oilseed production.
Cross-check
Government summaries of India’s production revolutions distinguish Yellow–oilseeds from Golden–horticulture and Blue–fisheries, confirming that the labels are not interchangeable.
Therefore, the colour revolution associated with oilseed production is the Yellow Revolution.
