Answer 1

The correct option is C Second

Second :- India (98,510,000 Tonnes)

Wheat is the second most important cultivated food crop in India (after rice), and feeds hundreds of millions of Indians on a daily basis. It is an especially important staple food in the northern and northwestern states of the country, such as near the Pakistani border. India accounts for about 8.7% of the total wheat production in the world, and 13% of all cultivated land in India is dedicated to cultivation of this crop. In India, the introduction of the "Green Revolution" plan led to a massive increase in wheat production, with a doubling of national wheat yields seen within the single decade between 1960 and 1970. Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh are the leading wheat producing states in the country.
