question 25 of 25
how did the scientific research that started the green revolution affect society?
a. it led to changes in agricultural practices that caused people to distrust new technology.
b. it caused people to view the environment in a negative way.
c. it prompted new laws that restricted future scientific research.
d. it resulted in increased food production, which improved peoples lives.

Explanation:

The Green Revolution involved scientific research in agriculture that led to the development of high - yielding crop varieties, improved irrigation, and use of fertilizers and pesticides. This significantly increased food production globally, which in turn improved people's lives by reducing hunger and malnutrition. Option A is incorrect as the new agricultural practices were generally adopted rather than causing distrust. Option B is wrong because the Green Revolution was not mainly associated with a negative view of the environment (though there were some environmental concerns later). Option C is inaccurate as it did not prompt laws restricting future scientific research.

Answer:

D. It resulted in increased food production, which improved people's lives.
