Which among the following is a kharif crop?

The correct answer is Option (4) → Maize

India’s crops are grouped by season. Kharif crops are sown with the onset of the south-west monsoon (June-July) and harvested in September-October; rabi crops are sown in winter (October-December) and harvested in spring. Maize needs warm, wet weather and is grown mainly as a kharif crop, like rice, cotton and millets.

Wheat, peas and mustard are rabi crops: they need a cool growing season and are harvested in March-April.
