Solution

The crop that fits the description provided is (b) Rice.

Here's why:

  1. Rice is the staple food crop for a majority of people in India.
  2. It is a kharif crop, which is typically sown with the onset of the first rains in July, during the southwest monsoon season. Rice requires high temperature and high humidity to grow, which aligns with the conditions during this season.
  3. In areas of less rainfall, rice can grow with the help of irrigation.
  4. Rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, where it is grown in large quantities for sale. In Odisha, it is a subsistence crop, meaning it is grown primarily for the farmer's own consumption rather than for sale.
