Solution

The correct option is C
Wheat + peanut

During mixed cropping, a cereal crop like wheat or maize is grown with leguminous crops like pea, soyabean and peanut. Due to this, the uptake of nitrogen from the soil by wheat is compensated by the addition of nitrogen in the soil by the leguminous plant.
