Solution

The correct option is A Sonalika
The development of semi-dwarf varieties of wheat and rice tremendously increased their production all over the world
Nobel laureate Norman E.Borlaug, at International Centre for Wheat and Maize Improvement in Mexico, developed semi-dwarf wheat.
In 1963, several varieties such as Sonalika and Kalyan Sona, which were high yielding and resistant, were introduced all over the wheat-growing belts of India.
So, the correct option is 'Sonalika'
