Model Answer
(D) Paddy, Maize, Groundnut, Soyabean
Kharif crops are grown with the onset of monsoon and harvested in September–October. Paddy, maize, groundnut and soyabean are all kharif crops.
Source: Agriculture, Chapter 4 — Kharif Crops section

Explanation
- Why (D)? The textbook explicitly lists paddy, maize, groundnut, and soyabean as kharif crops.
- Why not others? Wheat, peas, gram, and mustard are rabi crops. Urad is kharif but combined with mustard (rabi) in option A, making it wrong. Option C mixes mustard and gram (rabi) with kharif crops.
- Key tip: Memorise the two lists separately — rabi (wheat, barley, peas, gram, mustard) and kharif (paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, urad, groundnut, soyabean, cotton, jute).
