Solution
The correct option is D Jatropha
Two major types of biofuels are bioethanol and biodiesel. The former is produced from crops like maize, sugarcane, wheat, sorghum, sugar beet, potato, and the latter from oil-seeds like rapeseed, soybean, palm and Jatropha curcas. Among the biodiesel-yielding plants, Jatropha curcas has attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of the positive energy balance of its oil and its ability to grow in a annual rainfall ranging from 250-400 mm.
So, the correct answer is 'Jatropha'
