Answer 1

The correct answer is option (d) Sugarcane.

• Sugarcane is a species (often mixed) with tall, perennial grasses (namely Saccharum, Andropogoneae tribe) used to produce sugar. The plants are 2–6 m tall (6–20 ft) with strong, compact stems, and sucrose-rich tiles,  stacked on stalk internodes.
• Sugarcane belongs to the grass family, Poaceae, a family of economically important flowering plants that include corn, wheat, rice, sorghum, and many other food crops. It is found in the tropical regions of India, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea. This plant is also grown for biofuel production, especially in Brazil, as strings can be used directly to produce ethyl alcohol (ethanol).
