Solution

The correct option is C Cultivation of crops like sugarcane and rice
Agriculture in India is dependent on the monsoon rains. However, the rainfall is seasonal and unevenly distributed across the country, leading to various problems like drought and famine. Also, some crops such as rice and sugarcane require large and regular amounts of water. So, to mitigate these issues, the expansion of irrigation is important.
