• C. Fertility of land reduces
• D. Inadequate irrigation facilities

Answer 1

The correct option is A Specific crop requires specific environment

• Agriculture depends on growing periods that are seasonal in itself. India has three cropping seasons — rabi, kharif and zaid.
  
• Rabi crops are sown in winter from October to December and harvested in summer from April to June.
  
• Kharif crops are grown with the onset of monsoon in different parts of the country and these are harvested in September-October.
  
• In between the rabi and the kharif seasons, there is a short season during the summer months known as the Zaid season.
