Solution
The correct option is C 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 oilseeds like rapeseed, soybean, palm and Jatropha. 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 an annual rainfall ranging from 250-3000 mm.
