The correct answer is option 1, Bajra. The shaded areas in the map of India indicate the main distribution of Bajra. Bajra is a type of millet, which is a cereal grain commonly grown in India. It is known for its drought-resistant properties and ability to grow in harsh climatic conditions. Bajra is primarily grown in the arid and semiarid regions of India, which are represented by the shaded areas on the map. These regions usually have low rainfall and high temperatures, making them suitable for the cultivation of Bajra. The crop is particularly important in states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Haryana, where it is a staple food crop for many communities. Bajra is used to make various food products, such as roti (flatbread), bhakri (thick pancake), and khichdi (a rice and lentil dish).
