Solution

The correct option is C Gingelly
There are different crops irrigated and cultivated in Vaddicherla. The common crops are wheat, paddy, cotton and gingelly. The least profitable crop is considered to gingelly (sesame) because the income in rupees per acre is 2000-3000. This amount is very small with respect to the amount obtained from the other crops.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
