Solution

The correct option is C Millets
Sorghum/ jowar known as cholam, Ragi- kezhvaragu and Bajra- Kambu are the major millets. Millets form the staple food for one-third of the population of Tamil Nadu. Unlike rice, millets can be grown on less fertile soils and require moderate rainfall. Millets grow in relatively drier areas and coastal plains.
