Model Answer

India grows the Arabica variety of coffee, cultivated in the Nilgiri hills of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Hill slopes provide well-drained soil and suitable cool temperatures, preventing waterlogging harmful to coffee plants.

Explanation

This question is 1 mark, so one concise line covering: (1) variety — Arabica, (2) hill ranges — Nilgiri (Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu; Baba Budan Hills as origin), (3) reason for hill slopes — well-drained soil + cool climate. Don't write extra. The textbook specifically states cultivation is "confined to the Nilgiri in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu."
