Explanation

According to the textbook context, under 'Plantation Agriculture', the important plantation crops listed are tea, coffee, cocoa, rubber, cotton, oil palm, sugarcane, bananas and pineapples. Coffee (Option A), Sugarcane (Option B), and Rubber (Option D) are all explicitly mentioned as plantation crops. However, Wheat (Option C) is discussed under 'Extensive Commercial Grain Cultivation' where it is stated that 'Wheat is the principal crop' of commercial grain cultivation practised in semi-arid lands of mid-latitudes. It is not listed among plantation crops anywhere in the context.
