Hint: India in the current situation has a surplus of wheat and rice stock which is being spoiled due to a lack of conservation methods. All the options have more than ten thousand species. Genetic diversity is known to be the different subspecies of a particular cereals or fruit.

Complete answer:
Rice has the most subspecies and genetic diversity among all the options.
Rice has almost fifty thousand subspecies in India which makes it the most diverse in genetics.
> Groundnut has 14600 species.
> Maize has 9000 species.
> Mango has 1000 species.
With the given data rice becomes the most diverse in the group.
The eastern peninsular region/Eastern Ghats / Deccan plateau is the richest in food or agriculture production per year.
Yield assortments may differ in tallness, expanding design, bloom shading, fruiting time or seed size, and so on and they may likewise shift in their reaction to more subtle abiotic characteristics.

The correct option is (B) Rice.

Note:
Indian harvest decent variety which customarily incorporates landraces, crude cultivators, and essential crude materials but their earnings are low and when their crop gets destroyed or infected with the microorganism/pathogens the yield production also lowers which causes a huge financial crisis to the farmers, this is taken as a major concern and comes under the FAQ guidelines under which the fertilizers and all the medicines or pesticides and insecticides are provided to the farmers at very less cost and sometimes at no cost. It is the richest profession but faces the most financial crisis.
