Solution

The correct option is B Barley
  • Barley is a major cereal grain, commonly found in bread, beverages, and various cuisines of every culture. Barley grown for brewers malt is called malting barley, as opposed to feed barley, and is divided into two general types; 2 Row Barley and 6 Row Barley.
  • The most obvious difference between a head of 2-row barley and a head of 6-row barley is the arrangement of the kernels when the head is viewed down its axis.
