D.

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
During monsoon, the rice crop of eastern states of India shows lesser yield due to the limiting factor of light.
Rice is considered the master crop of coastal India and in some regions of eastern India, where during the summer and monsoon seasons, both high temperature and heavy rainfall provide ideal conditions for the cultivation of rice.
At some places in the eastern and southern parts of India, rice crop of short light duration is followed by the rice crop of long light duration. Therefore, light is the limiting factor during monsoon season.
