Correct Answer:
A. 1955-60
Pakistan's journey of economic development after gaining independence was structured through a series of Five Year Plans. The First Five Year Plan of Pakistan was officially implemented for the period spanning from 1955 to 1960. This inaugural plan was crucial for establishing the foundational framework for industrialization, agricultural growth, and infrastructure development, aiming to steer the nascent economy towards stability and progress.
- Options B (1960-65), C (1965-70), and D (1970-75) represent subsequent five-year plans or incorrect timeframes, making them inaccurate for the *first* plan. The 1955-60 period marks the commencement of Pakistan's structured economic planning efforts.
