The correct answer is Option 1: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation. Milk production in the country has increased by about ten times between 1951-2016. This can be attributed mainly to the successful implementation of ‘Operation Flood’.

In this system the farmers are assured of a fair price and income from the supply of milk to urban markets. |
