Solution

The correct option is C Rice
  • Rice is a tropical plant that requires high temperatures and high rainfall.
  • Rice plants need 20 - 22 degrees celsius of temperature during the sowing season, 23 - 25 degrees celsius during the growing season, and 25 - 30 degrees celsius during the harvesting.
  • Such a range of temperature is available in India and that makes rice the most cultivated crop in India.
  • India has the largest paddy output in the world and is also the second-largest exporter of rice in the world.
  • Paddy fields are a common sight throughout India, be it northern Gangetic plains or southern peninsular plateaus.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
