The correct option is B Rice
Rice accounts for about 42% of total food grain production and >55% of the diet in India. It is considered to have originated in the Himalayan foot hills. It is cultivated below the sea level in the Kuttanad district of Kerala state as well as at an altitude of 2000 meters above the mean sea level in the hills of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttaranchal and North-Eastern States. Rice diversity consists of landraces, improved cultivars, hybrids, closely related wild relatives adapted to varied agro-ecological conditions, such as altitude, temperature, rainfall, soil type etc. and possessing varied agro-morpho-physiological characteristics.
So, the correct answer is option C.
