Solution

The correct option is C autumn
Autumn,
Depending upon the variety and sowing time it takes about 12 to 18 months to mature. In general January to march is the period of planting and December to March is the period of harvesting. In some states sugarcane is grown round the year. After harvest, generally a ratoon crop is cultivated from the regrowth. In some countries 2-6 ratoons are allowed.
