B Correct answer
Explanation

The Power sector witnessed massive expansion in the five decades following India's Independence. From a base of about 1,300 MW in 1947, India's power generating capacity grew exponentially through numerous hydroelectric, thermal, and nuclear projects. While Agriculture (A) did grow, its expansion was more evolutionary than revolutionary in scale. The Textiles industry (C) and Small scale industries (D) saw growth but not at the same magnitude as power infrastructure.
