A Correct answer
Explanation

BHC (Benzene hexachloride) was indeed one of the most extensively used pesticides in India during the mid-to-late 20th century, particularly in agriculture. DDT was also widely used but BHC (also known as HCH or Lindane) had significant usage due to its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of pests. However, both have been banned or severely restricted due to environmental persistence and health hazards.
