For More Understanding

Explanation

Option (B) Gram is correct because the textbook explicitly states that 'Some of the important rabi crops are wheat, barley, peas, gram and mustard.' Rabi crops are sown in winter (October to December) and harvested in summer (April to June).

The other options are incorrect:

  • Rice (Option A) is a Kharif crop, grown with the onset of monsoon and harvested in September-October.
  • Millets (Option C) like Jowar and Bajra are Kharif crops, as mentioned in the context.
  • Cotton (Option D) is also listed under Kharif crops in the textbook.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the definition of Rabi crops from the context - crops sown in winter (October-December) and harvested in summer (April-June).

  2. Step 2: Check the list of important Rabi crops mentioned: wheat, barley, peas, gram and mustard.

  3. Step 3: Verify each option against the context - Gram is listed as a Rabi crop, while Rice, Millets (Jowar, Bajra), and Cotton are Kharif crops.

  4. Step 4: Select Option B as the correct answer.
