Solution
The correct option is B Maize
Maize is a crop which is used both as a food crop and fodder crop.
It is a kharif crop that requires temperature between 21°C to 27°C and grows well in old alluvial soil. In some states like Bihar maize is grown in rabi season also. The use of modern inputs such as HYV seeds, fertilizers and irrigation has contributed to the increasing production of maize. Major maize-producing states are Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.
