C) A-2 B-1 C-4 D-3
D) A-3 B-2 C-4 D-1
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Barley is a temperate crop which needs cool climate where the temperature remains \[10{}^\circ -15{}^\circ C\] for about three months in a year. Inferior type of light clay and alluvial soils are best suited for barley. Rice is a crop of hot and moist climate where temperature varies from \[20{}^\circ \] to \[30{}^\circ C\] and annual rainfall should always exceed 100 cm. Although it can be grown on a variety of soils, rich deep clayey or loamy soils are best for rice. Millets can be grown in less water and poorer soil conditions. Tea is a tropical crop which requires warm moist climate where temperature is \[20{}^\circ -30{}^\circ C\] and annual rainfall varies from 150 to 300 cm. Although it requires heavy rainfall for its growth, stagnant water is injurious to its roots. It is, therefore, grown on hill slopes on higher altitudes where water drains away easily.
