Solution
The correct option is D Cashewnut, potato, rubber
The cashew tree is originally native to northeastern Brazil, the tree is now widely grown in tropical regions, India and Nigeria being major producers, in addition to Vietnam, the Ivory Coast and Indonesia. The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade, Solanum tuberosum L. The word "potato" may refer either to the plant itself or the edible tuber. In the Andes, where the species is indigenous, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region approximately four centuries ago. Castilla elastica, the Panama rubber tree, is a tree native to the tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Thus, option D is correct. Coffee, tea, mango are not brought to India from new world.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
