Hint
Rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, sugarcane and peanuts are some examples of this type of crop. These types of crops are generally sown at the advent of the south-west monsoon season at the beginning of the first rains, and they are harvested at the end of the monsoon season (October-November). Monsoon sowing dates differ, occurring in the southern state of Kerala towards the end of May and touching July in some northern Indian states.

Complete answer:
In the rainy season, Kharif crops such as rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, sugarcane and peanuts are cultivated.

Kharif crops, monsoon crops or autumn crops are domesticated plants such as rice that are grown and harvested in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh during the monsoon season of the Indian subcontinent, which depends on the region from June to November. Monsoon rains may begin in some parts of the Indian subcontinent as early as May and crops are typically harvested from the 3rd week of September to September. Some of the major Kharif crops in India include rice, maize and cotton.

Rice is India's most significant Kharif crop. It is grown in hot and humid climates in rain-fed areas, particularly in the eastern and southern parts of India. During the growing season, rice needs a temperature of 16–20 °C (61–68 °F) and 18–32 °C (64–90 °F) during ripening. It takes 150-200 centimetres (59-79 in of precipitation and needs a flooded field during the growth phase.

Therefore the correct answer is B

Note
Rabi crops are agricultural crops which are sown in winter and harvested in India in the spring.
Zaid crops are crops for the summer season. They expand over a long period of time, mainly from March to June.
A cash crop is an agricultural crop that is cultivated to be sold for profit. Usually, it is bought by parties independent from a farm.
