Correct Answer: Gulf war
Solution : The correct option is the Gulf War.
Due to the war conditions against China in 1962 and Pakistan in 1965, the government was unable to attain the intended expansion during the Third Five-Year Plan (1961–1966). These caused money and attention to be diverted from development to defence. Therefore, yearly plans were created over the next three years, 1966–1969, rather than five-year plans.
The Gulf War of 1990-91 had an impact on the world economy, although it was not a direct cause of India's break in five-year plans.
