The correct option is C Zaid
Zaid crops are summer season crops grown on the sub-continent on irrigated lands which do not have to wait for monsoons. They grow in the short duration between Rabi and Kharif crop season, mainly from March to June. These crops are mainly grown in the summer season during a period called the "Zaid crop season."
