Note: The same question was also asked in CUET (UG) 2025 on 16-05-2025 (Slot 1).
NCERT (2025-26): “Cropping Seasons in India … There are three distinct crop seasons in the northern and interior parts of country, namely kharif, rabi and zaid.

The rabi season begins with the onset of winter in October-November and ends in March-April. The low temperature conditions during this season facilitate the cultivation of temperate and subtropical crops such as wheat, gram and mustard.…”
