A) A-2 B-3 C-4 D-1
B) A-4 B-3 C-2 D-1
C) A-2 B-1 C-4 D-3
D) A-3 B-2 C-1 D-4
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Wheat is a crop of semi-arid regions and does not need rainfall exceeding 75 cm. In fact the highest limit of rainfall for wheat cultivation is 100 cm beyond which no wheat can be grown. Cotton is very sensitive to frost and needs at least 200 frost free days in a year. Coffee plant is sensitive to direct rays from the sun but requires high temperature varying from \[14{}^\circ \] to \[26{}^\circ C\] and even more for its proper growth. Therefore, coffee plants are grown in areas of high temperature under shady trees. Sugar beet is a root crop and needs deep, fertile and friable soil for its proper growth.
