The National Food Security Mission aims to enhance the productivity and production of specific crops, but it is not targeted towards all types of plants.

Option 1 mentions only Rice and Wheat. Although these are part of the mission, other crops are also included, thus this answer is incomplete.

Option 2 lists Rice, Wheat, and Pulses, which are the key focus crops for this mission because of their importance in the Indian diet and economic value. Hence, this is the correct answer.

Option 3 also includes oil seeds along with Rice, Wheat, and Pulses which is incorrect. While oil seeds are important, they are not a part of the food security mission.

Option 4 suggests that vegetables are also a part of the mission together with Rice, Wheat, Pulses, and oil seeds, which is again false. Although vegetables are part of our food system, the mission doesn`t specifically mention them as their focus crops.
