Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B Rabi
C Kharif
D Zaid

The crops that are cultivated vary depending on the seasons. India has three main cropping seasons - Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid.

Kharif crops are sown during the onset of monsoon and harvested during the months of September and October.

Rabi crops are sown in the months of October to December and harvested in the months of April to June.

There is a short cropping season between Rabi and Kharif. It is called Zaid.
