The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The Fourth Five Year Plan (1969-74) was launched in 1969 when Indira Gandhi was Prime Minister, so Statement I is true.
The Third Plan (1961-66) introduced the intensive agricultural programmes (IADP) and the adoption of high-yielding varieties that led to the Green Revolution of the mid-1960s, so Statement II is taken as true in the standard account.
Both statements are true, so option 1.
Answer: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
