Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Mutant variety of Isabgol is Plantaginaceae. Plantaginaceae, the plantain family, is a family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales.
Isabgol is a crop of cool and dry season. Unseasonable rain or, even high dew deposition during crop maturity can result in total loss of seed. The regions receiving winter rains are thus not suitable for its cultivation. The crop is traditionally grown in light sandy to sandy loam soils.
