Which of the following is NOT a rabi crop?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Cotton.
Cotton is predominantly a kharif crop in India. Kharif crops are monsoon crops, sown with the onset of the rains, typically in May-July, and harvested in September-December. Cotton requires a warm, moist climate for a significant part of its growth period, which aligns with the monsoon season. Rabi crops, on the other hand, are winter crops requiring cooler, drier conditions.
