Solution

The correct option is C Alluvium soil
Wheat can be grown in black soil and alluvium soil. Wheat requires moderate cool climate in its growing phase and bright sunshine during the time of harvest.
Hence, it is a rabi crop. It is sown in winter and harvested in the summer months. It requires moderate rainfall between 50-75 cm annually.
