The correct answer is A) Pulses and oilseeds.
Pulses and oilseeds are crops that are known for their water-use efficiency. They require less water to grow than other crops, such as rice and wheat. Pulses and oilseeds are also important sources of protein and other nutrients. The Telangana government is promoting the cultivation of these crops in order to improve water-use efficiency and to increase the availability of protein and other nutrients for the population.
Jowar and bajra are also drought-tolerant crops, but they require more water than pulses and oilseeds. Sugarcane and bananas are water-intensive crops, and they are not suitable for cultivation in areas with limited water resources. Wheat and barley are also water-intensive crops, but they are more tolerant of drought than sugarcane and bananas.
The Telangana government is promoting the cultivation of pulses and oilseeds because they are water-use efficient, nutritious, and suitable for cultivation in areas with limited water resources.
