The Great Leap Forward, initiated by Mao Zedong in 1958, aimed to rapidly transform China from an agrarian society into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization. Here’s how each option relates to the impact of the Great Leap Forward:

- **A. It sparked change that greatly altered China by the 1960s.**  
  This statement is true. The Great Leap Forward led to significant changes in China's agricultural and industrial policies, which had lasting effects on the country's development.

- **B. Over 10 million people died of starvation.**  
  This statement is also true. The policies implemented during the Great Leap Forward, particularly the collectivization of agriculture and unrealistic production targets, resulted in widespread famine, leading to the deaths of an estimated 15 to 45 million people.

- **C. Steel production flourished in rural Chinese villages.**  
  This statement is misleading. While there was an emphasis on increasing steel production, much of it was done through backyard furnaces that produced low-quality steel. Therefore, while there was an attempt to boost steel production, it did not flourish in a meaningful or productive way.

- **D. It pushed China's progress back many years.**  
  This statement is true. The Great Leap Forward resulted in economic disruption and a setback in agricultural and industrial productivity, which delayed China's development for years.
