The correct answer is option 2, Rice. In India, the maximum area under crops is used for the cultivation of rice. Rice is a staple food in India and is cultivated extensively across various states. Rice requires a large amount of water and is predominantly grown in regions with abundant rainfall or access to irrigation facilities. The cultivation of rice is especially prominent in states like West Bengal, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. The favorable climatic conditions and availability of suitable land make rice cultivation a profitable and sustainable option for farmers in these regions. Rice also holds cultural and traditional significance in many parts of India, further contributing to its widespread cultivation.
