Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists: List I - List II 1. I. Cotton - A) Rainfall 1000-1500 mm; Temperature 40° - 60°C 2. II. Flax - B) Rainfall 1500-2000 mm; Temperature 25° - 35°C 3. III. Sugar beet - C) Rainfall 600 - 800 mm; Temperature 5° - 18°C 4. IV. Jute - D) Rainfall 500 - 1000 mm; Temperature 18° - 22°C 5. E) Rainfall 500 - 600 mm; Temperature 18°- 22°C

This question requires matching crops with their typical climatic requirements (rainfall and temperature). 1. Cotton (I): Requires moderate rainfall (around 50-100 cm or 500-1000 mm) and warm temperatures (ideally 18°-22°C or higher during growing season, frost-free). Matches D. 2. Flax (II): A temperate crop requiring cool, moist conditions. Moderate rainfall (around 600-800 mm) and relatively cool temperatures (around 5°-18°C). Matches C. 3. Sugar beet (III): A temperate crop grown in cool conditions. Moderate rainfall or irrigation (500-600 mm) and optimal temperatures around 18°-22°C (or slightly cooler). Matches E. 4. Jute (IV): Requires high temperatures (25°-35°C) and high humidity with abundant rainfall (1500-2000 mm or more), typically grown in hot, wet climates. Matches B. 5. Option A (Rainfall 1000-1500 mm; Temperature 40°-60°C) does not fit any of these crops well; 40-60°C is too high for cultivation. 6. The correct matching sequence is I-D, II-C, III-E, IV-B.
