Solution

The correct option is B June to September
The cropping season is categorized into two main types namely Kharif and rabi on the basis of monsoon. The Kharif cropping season is generally from June to September though it varies in every state of the country. These crops are typically sown in June, during the initial period of monsoon and harvested by September. Hence, Kharif crops are also called monsoon crops. The Kharif crops include rice, maize, bajra, ragi, soybean, groundnut, cotton etc.
So, the correct answer is option C, June to September.
