Solution

The correct option is B Kharif Crops
Crops don't grow in all seasons. Different crops need varying proportions of water, climatic conditions and temperature. Based on climatic conditions, crops are divided into two categories: Kharif crops and Rabi crops.
Kharif crops are crops grown in rainy season. They need a particular range of temperature, mostly high and a large amount of rainfall. These are sown with onset of monsoon in June and harvested around the month of October.
Examples of kharif crops include jowar, rice, soyabean, paddy, maize, cotton, etc.
