D
Correct answer
Explanation
The President emphasized credit at low interest rates (1) and enhancement of technical skills (2) as immediate priorities for making agriculture more productive. Low-interest credit helps farmers invest in better inputs and equipment, while technical skills improve farming practices. Free import of wheat (3) would actually harm domestic farmers by reducing prices and discouraging local production, which contradicts the goal of making Indian agriculture more productive.
