Correct Answer :
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: c) Sugarcane
Explanation:
– Kharif (monsoon) crops are sown with the onset of rains (around June–July) and need warm, humid conditions.
– Sugarcane thrives in such warm and moist conditions and is commonly treated as a Kharif/cash crop in many regions.
– The other options—gram, barley, and wheat—are classic Rabi crops, sown in winter (Oct–Dec) and harvested in spring.
