A is false.
Explanation: Agricultural output in Africa has risen only modestly and unevenly since 1960 and has generally not kept pace with rapid population growth. Yields remain low in many countries because of limited investment, low mechanization, soil degradation, and constrained access to inputs, so production increases have not been the significant, continent‑wide gains implied by statement A.
