Q.	In a slanting hilly Indian terrain experiencing more than 200 cms of annual rainfall, which one of the following crops can be cultivated best?
A.	Cotton
B.	Jute
C.	Tobacco
D.	Tea
Answer» D. Tea
Explanation: Well distributed rainfall ranging around 2000 mm to 5000 mm is considered suitable for successful tea plantation. The monthly average maximum temperature ranging between 28°C and 32°C during April to September, with occasional rise upto 36° - 37° C is good for the plantation. Tea is planted in flat and slightly undulating land at elevation ranging from 20 to 250 m above sea level in major part of the plains of NE India. On hill slopes of Darjeeling and South India, it is planted upto a height of 2000 m above sea level. The state of Assam is the world's largest tea-growing region. It experiences high precipitation; during the monsoon period, as much as 10 to 12 incises (250-300 mm) of rain per day.
