The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Problem**: The question states that traditional techniques for crop improvement are insufficient to meet the growing demand for food. This indicates a need for a more advanced technology. 2. **Identifying the Technology**: The video transcript mentions that the technology developed to address these shortcomings is called "tissue culture." 3. **Explaining Tissue Culture**: Tissue culture is a modern technique that allows for the maintenance and growth of plant cells or plantlets in controlled environmental conditions using artificial nutrient media. This method is more efficient than traditional techniques. 4. **Highlighting Micropropagation**: Within tissue culture, micropropagation is a specific process that enables the growth of multiple plantlets simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial for producing a large number of disease-free plants. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the technology that was developed to improve crop production efficiency is tissue culture. **Final Answer**: As traditional techniques failed to keep pace with demand and to provide sufficiently fast and efficient systems for crop improvement, another technology called **tissue culture** got developed. ---
