The Borlaug Award in India is a prestigious recognition given to individuals who have made remarkable research and contributions in a particular field. The correct answer to this question is option 2, which is agriculture, environment, and extension.

Option 1, material science and architecture, is not the correct answer. The Borlaug Award specifically focuses on achievements related to agriculture and the environment, rather than material science and architecture.

Option 3, conservation and restoration of ancient monuments and artifacts, is also not the correct answer. While this is an important field, it is not the focus of the Borlaug Award in India.

Option 4, alternative or non-conventional sources of energy, is not the correct answer either. The Borlaug Award recognizes outstanding research and contribution in the agricultural and environmental sectors, not in the field of energy sources.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 2, agriculture, environment, and extension. These areas are crucial for improving food security, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and protecting the environment.
