Which of the following is a Kharif crop?

Correct answer: (b) Sugarcane

Explanation

In India, mainly three major crop seasons are considered — Kharif, Rabi and Zaid. Barley, gram and wheat—all three are Rabi crops. Sugarcane is technically an annual/long-duration cash crop. Compared to Rabi crops (barley, gram, wheat), sugarcane is placed more on the Kharif side because it requires higher temperature and relatively more water, and in the crop-classification of many states it is linked with the Kharif/monsoon-based season.
