The correct option is A Kharif
The crops that are sown in the rainy season are called Kharif crops (also known as the summer or monsoon crop) in India.

The Kharif crops include rice, maize, sorghum, pearl millet/bajra, finger millet/ragi (cereals), arhar (pulses), soybean, groundnut (oilseeds), cotton etc.
