Solution

The correct option is B Point 3
Point 3.
Due to heavy rains in Maharashtra the supply for rice crops will reduce and the supply curve will shift towards the left from S1 to S3 but the demand will remain unchanged at D1 because people will demand same regardless. The equilibrium point for S3 and D1 is point 3. In this case the price will increase and quantity will reduce.
