The correct option is A) Rajasthan.

Plantation agriculture is characterized by large-scale cultivation of a single crop, typically cash crops like tea, coffee, rubber, spices, and sugarcane, grown on large estates. These crops often require specific climatic conditions, such as high rainfall and warm temperatures, and fertile soils.

States like Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and parts of the North-Eastern states (like Nagaland for rubber and tea in some areas) are prominent for plantation agriculture. Rajasthan, on the other hand, has an arid and semi-arid climate and is primarily known for crops like bajra, jowar, pulses, oilseeds, cotton, and wheat, and does not have significant areas under plantation crops.
