D Correct answer
Explanation

The Green Revolution in India primarily focused on high-yielding varieties of wheat and paddy (rice), which led to high productivity for these cereal crops. However, it negatively impacted pulses and oilseeds, causing their production to lag rather than yield a high output. Therefore, option D is not a correct effect of the Green Revolution.
