Solution

The correct option is A Due to uneven rainfall
Agriculture in India largely depends on the monsoon rainfall. However, these rainfalls are seasonal and unevenly distributed across the country, which cause various problems like drought and famine. Moreover, some crops, such as rice and sugarcane, etc. need large and regular supply of water. So, the expansion of irrigation has been a key strategy in developing the agricultural sector in our country.
