Reasoning: There is no distinct classification of seasons as Kharif, Rabi and Zaid in Southern Part of India.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Distinction in the cropping season does not exist in southern parts of the country. Here, the temperature is high enough to grow tropical crops during any period in the year provided the soil moisture is available. Therefore, in this region same crops can be grown thrice in an agricultural year provided there is sufficient soil moisture.
