Answer 2

Answer:

(b) Gram

Gram is a rabi crop.

Wheat and Gram are rabi crops. Rabi or winter season crops are crops that are planted in the early winter (October-November).

Explanation:

Rabi crops are planted from September to November, preferably after the monsoon rains or at the start of the winter season, and harvested in April / May in the spring. Crops are grown using either rainwater that has percolated into the ground or irrigation. Winter rain devastates rabi crops but benefits Kharif crops.

Wheat is the most important rabi crop in India, followed by barley, mustard, sesame, and peas.
