Solution

The correct option is B Mustard + Cotton
Cotton and mustard crops cannot be grown together in mixed cropping pattern as cotton is a kharif crop that is sown in the rainy season, while mustard is a rabi crop that is sown in winter season. If both crops are sown at the same time then one of them will not produce the desired crop result and the farmer will incur losses.
