The correct answer is A) Paddy (Rice).

Paddy is the most important crop grown in Telangana, accounting for over 50% of the state’s agricultural land. It is grown under canal irrigation in the Telangana region, which is located in the south-central part of India. The climate in Telangana is ideal for growing paddy, with hot, humid summers and cool, dry winters. The state receives an average annual rainfall of 800-1000 mm, which is sufficient for growing paddy.

Paddy is a water-intensive crop, and it requires a lot of irrigation. The Telangana government has invested heavily in canal irrigation in recent years, and this has helped to increase the production of paddy in the state. Paddy is a major source of food for the people of Telangana, and it is also an important export crop.

Maize, jowar, and pulses are also important crops grown in Telangana, but they are not grown as extensively as paddy. Maize is a cereal crop that is grown in both dry and wet areas. Jowar is a millet crop that is grown in dry areas. Pulses are a group of legumes that are grown in both dry and wet areas.

Paddy is the most important crop grown in Telangana because it is a staple food for the people of the state. It is also an important export crop. The Telangana government has invested heavily in canal irrigation in recent years, and this has helped to increase the production of paddy in the state.
