Solution
The correct option is B Rice Rice is the most important human food crop in the world as it is directly feeding more people than any other crop. It is also the staple food across Asia, where around half of the world's poorest people live and is becoming increasingly important in Africa and Latin America. Rice has also fed more people over a longer time than has any other crop. It is spectacularly diverse, both in the way it is grown and how it is used by humans. Rice is unique because it can grow in wet environments that other crops cannot survive in. Such, wet environments are abundant across Asia. So, rice is the main crop of Asia.
