Which of the foreign traveller found Indian agriculture very productive because of the fertility of the soil, which allowed farmers to cultivate two crops a year. Identify the traveller from the given options?

Ibn Battuta

The correct answer is Option 3 - Ibn Battuta

Ibn Battuta found Indian agriculture very productive because of the fertility of the soil, which allowed farmers to cultivate two crops a year. He also noted that the subcontinent was well integrated with inter-Asian networks of trade and commerce, with Indian manufactures being in great demand in both West Asia and Southeast Asia, fetching huge profits for artisans and merchants. Indian textiles, particularly cotton cloth, fine muslins, silks, brocade and satin, were in great demand. Ibn Battuta informs us that certain varieties of fine muslin were so expensive that they could be worn only by the nobles and the very rich.
