Rabi crops are grown in ________ season.

The correct answer is Option (1) → Winter

Rabi crops are sown in October–December and harvested in April–June, so they grow through the winter season and ripen in the warmth of spring. Wheat, barley, gram, peas and mustard are the main rabi crops, and they depend largely on irrigation and winter rain.

Kharif crops such as paddy, maize and cotton are the monsoon crops, while zaid crops such as watermelon and cucumber fill the short summer between them.
