Solution
The correct option is A black Cotton is a rain-fed crop which requires not less than 100cm of rain during its kharif season. Black soil has excellent water retaining property which enables cotton to grow even in the regions which do not receive enough rainfall. Also the texture of black soil and high humus content favours cotton as well.
