Solution

The correct option is A Soyabean and maize
Rahul should cultivate soyabeans and maize together using the inter-cropping method. It is a method of growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern. By growing soyabeans and maize together there is maximum utilization of the nutrients supplied. It also prevents pests and diseases from spreading to all the plants belonging to one crop in a field. The other sets of crops are grown using mixed cropping method.
