Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

The geographical requirements for these crops are:

  • Barley (I-B): Adapted to cool climates and can tolerate poorer soil quality better than many other cereals.
  • Rice (II-D): Requires high heat and high humidity (hot and moist climate) along with rich, fertile soils like alluvium.
  • Millets (III-A): These are drought-hardy crops that thrive in hot and dry climates with poor soil fertility.
  • Tea (IV-C): Needs a warm and moist climate and is typically cultivated on high altitude slopes to provide the necessary soil drainage.
