Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Major pulses that are grown in India are tur (arhar), urad, moong, masur, peas and gram.
Pulses need less moisture and survive even in dry conditions. Being leguminous crops, all these crops except arhar help in restoring soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the air. Therefore, these are mostly grown in rotation with other crops. Major pulse producing states in India are Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
