The correct answer is D. Western plateau.
The agro-climatic zones of Jharkhand are:
- Pat region: This region is characterized by a hot and humid climate. The main crops grown in this region are rice, maize, and pulses.
- Central North-Eastern plateau: This region is characterized by a temperate climate. The main crops grown in this region are wheat, barley, and oilseeds.
- South-Eastern plateau: This region is characterized by a tropical climate. The main crops grown in this region are rice, sugarcane, and jute.
- Western plateau: This region is characterized by a semi-arid climate. The main crops grown in this region are millets, sorghum, and cotton.
The western plateau is not a sub-region of agro-climatic zone of Jharkhand because it is not a distinct geographical region. It is a part of the Central North-Eastern plateau.
