Hint: Kiwi is also known as Chinese gooseberry which belongs to the family Actinidiaceae. These fruits were actually grown in China first before the twentieth century.

Complete answer: Kiwi is found in New Zealand. Although it was first found in China but in the early twentieth century, it spread to New Zealand and the occurrence of commercial planting took place here. It is the most powerful fruit with a tangy and sweet taste and has an important role in strengthening poor eyesight and curing any eye problem. They have a very nutritional property and quality taste.
Let us observe the other options-
-Kiwi is not grown in India or very rarely cultivated here. They are mostly imported from New Zealand for better quality and taste.
-This country doesn’t provide suitable temperature and geographical conditions for the growth of kiwi.
-South America kiwi are also not grown in this country due to the lack of availability of required geographical conditions. They are mostly imported from New Zealand and New Zealand has become the king of kiwi cultivation.
