Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(B), (C) and (D) only

(C), (D) and (E) only

(A), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A), (C) and (D) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (C) and (D) only

(B) Abolition of Zamindari System and (E) Land Ceiling Acts are legislations of land reforms.

Certainly! Here's the explanation:

- (A) Abolition of Sati: This legislation was aimed at abolishing the practice of Sati, which involved the immolation of widows on their husband's funeral pyres. It was a social reform measure and not directly related to land reforms.
- (C) Bhoodan Movement: The Bhoodan Movement, initiated by Vinoba Bhave, aimed at persuading wealthy landowners to voluntarily donate a portion of their land to landless peasants. While it addressed land redistribution, it was not a legislative measure but rather a voluntary movement.
- (D) Green Revolution: The Green Revolution refers to a series of agricultural advancements that significantly increased agricultural productivity in India. It involved the introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds, modern irrigation techniques, and agrochemicals. While it had a profound impact on agricultural practices and land use, it was not a legislative measure but rather a technological and agricultural development initiative.

Therefore, options (A), (C), and (D) are not legislation directly associated with land reforms.
