Solution
The correct option is B Buck wheat
'Pseudo-cereal' is a broad-leaved non-legume that is grown for grain unlike most cereal grains, which are a grassy plant. Buck wheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is a crop, which holds tremendous agronomic and nutritional benefits. Buckwheat is native to temperate East Asia and has proven itself to be widely adapted around the world. Buck wheat must be further evaluated for its contribution to diversifying cropping systems, enhancing human nutrition and contributing to regional (rural) economies.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
