To determine the correct answer, we need to identify which option is not a result of the increase in large-scale, green revolution agriculture in the region.
To do this, we need to analyze each option:
A. Option A states that more than 2 million small farmers have been forced to sell their land in Brazil alone since 1985. This could be a result of the increase in large-scale, green revolution agriculture, as it may lead to consolidation of land ownership and displacement of small farmers.
B. Option B suggests that there has been an increase in poor farmers heading to the cities for work as farmers lose their land. This is also a plausible consequence of the increase in large-scale, green revolution agriculture, as it can lead to land concentration and the displacement of small farmers.
C. Option C, which is marked with asterisks (*), claims that political protests by disenfranchised farmers have caused governments of large countries such as Brazil to reconsider the rush to green revolution style agriculture. This option suggests that the increase in large-scale, green revolution agriculture has faced resistance due to political protests. Therefore, it is the answer that is an exception to the given statement.
D. Option D states that poor farmers and farm laborers have organized movements such as the Movement of Landless Rural Workers in Brazil to occupy unused portions of large farms. This could be a result of the increase in large-scale, green revolution agriculture, as it may lead to land concentration and create a sense of injustice among marginalized farmers.
Based on the analysis, option C, political protests causing governments to reconsider the rush to green revolution style agriculture, is the exception as it implies a conscious response from governments rather than a consequence of the increase in green revolution agriculture.
Thus, the correct answer is C.
