Answer the questions based on the following Table

Examine the following statements:
I. Over the period total cereal productivity has gone up
II. Area, Production and yield of the total oil seeds is on decline
III. Though there is a decline in the area under Urd production but the quantity of production and yield has gone up over the years.
Select the best option:
Productivity is defined as total production per hectare.
Total productivity of cereals in the year 2006 = $$\frac{153+173+2172+1102+5}{107+598+4992+1004+16}$$ = $$0.5366$$
Total productivity of cereals in the year 2008 = $$\frac{190+380+3350+1182+4}{110+720+4800+1101+15}$$ = $$0.756$$
We can see that clearly, Total productivity of cereals in the year 2008 > Total productivity of cereals in the year 2006. Hence, statement I is correct.
Now let us check statement II.
Total yield of oil seeds in the year 2006 = $$\frac{63+491+856+880+135}{422+317+744+472+106}$$ = $$1.1766$$
Total yield of oil seeds in the year 2008 = $$\frac{70+374+799+699+106}{280+298+650+325+80}$$ = $$1.254$$
We can see that yield of Oil seeds is not on decline. Hence, statement II is incorrect.
Now let us check statement III.
Area under Urd production in the year 2006 = 124
Area under Urd production in the year 2008 = 102
Total Urd production in the year 2006 = 31
Total Urd production in the year 2008 = 35
Urd's yield in the year 2006 = $$\frac{31}{124}$$ = 0.25
Urd's yield in the year 2008 = $$\frac{35}{102}$$ = 0.34
Hence, we can say that statement III is correct. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
