Solution
The correct option is D Weeds Weeds are unwanted
plants which grow along with the crop plants in the
cultivated field. Some common weeds in India
are Amaranthus (Chaulai), Parthenium (Gajar
ghas), Cyperus rotundus (Motha), Chenopodium (Bathua),
Xanthium (Gokhroo). Weeds compete with the crop plants
for nutrients, space, light and water. This results in lowering
the food grain quality and reduction in crop yield. Weeds
may produce toxic substances which may interfere with crop
growth. During harvesting, weeds get mixed up with crops
to lower down its quality.
