Answer: Option A
Solution:
Pineapple is highly suited for Tropical humid regions.
Pineapple is suitable for cultivation in humid tropics. The fruit grows well near the sea coast as well as in the interior; so long the temperatures are not extreme. The optimum temperature required for successful cultivation is 22° - 32°C.
It is a tropical plant with edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae. Pineapples grow as small shrubs; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form multiple fruits.
