Answer 2

Answer:

D) Beet Root and Sugar cane

Explanation:

• Beetroot or sugar beet is an excellent source of sugar or sucrose worldwide.

• In India, we get most of the sugar from Sugarcane but in the European countries or even in the rest of the world, it is beetroot.

• Beetroot root has a great amount of sucrose.

• Sugarcane is a form of grass and contains a huge amount of sucrose.

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is commercially grown to fulfill the needs for sugar consumption. Sugar beet is basically a summer crop, grown in the temperate areas of the world. The plant needs a good amount of precipitation.
