The correct answer is option 2: Rice. In India, rice cultivation requires significant amounts of water for irrigation. As a result, rice occupies the largest irrigated area in the country. Rice is a staple crop in India and is grown extensively in states like West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar, which have abundant water resources for irrigation. The cultivation of rice involves both transplanting and direct seeding methods, both of which require consistent water supply. The large irrigated area for rice cultivation is essential to meet the high demand for this staple food crop in India. Therefore, option 2, Rice, is the correct answer.
