The correct answer is (a) China.
China is the world’s leading producer of both wheat and rice. In 2020, China produced 135.7 million metric tons of wheat and 145.7 million metric tons of rice. The United States is the world’s second-largest producer of wheat, with 50.7 million metric tons produced in 2020. India is the world’s second-largest producer of rice, with 119.2 million metric tons produced in 2020. France is the world’s fifth-largest producer of wheat, with 33.1 million metric tons produced in 2020. France is not a major producer of rice.
Wheat is a cereal grain that is used to make bread, pasta, and other baked goods. Rice is a cereal grain that is used to make rice dishes, such as sushi and risotto. Both wheat and rice are important staple foods for people around the world.
