Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "Sugarcane grows well in hot and humid climate with a temperature of 21°C to 27°C." The other options — Peas, Wheat (rabi crops needing cool season) and Gram (rabi, dry conditions) — require cool or dry climates. Always link the crop to its specific climatic requirement for MCQ justification in board exams.
