Explanation

Agriculture and allied sectors contributed approximately 17% to India's GDP in the mid-2000s period (around 2006-2008). This figure has been declining over decades - from over 50% at independence to around 15-17% by the late 2000s. The other options (12%, 22%, 27%) are not representative of this period's official statistics.
