The correct answer is: C) Jatropha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Jatropha is a shrub or small tree that is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. It is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, which also includes castor oil plants and cassava. Jatropha is a non-edible oilseed crop that is grown for its biodiesel potential. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that can be used to power diesel engines. It is made from vegetable oils or animal fats, and it is a cleaner-burning fuel than petroleum diesel.<\/p>\n Jatropha has several advantages over other oilseed crops for biodiesel production. It is a drought-tolerant crop that can be grown on marginal land. It is also a perennial crop, which means that it can be harvested for many years without replanting. Jatropha is also a non-food crop, which means that it does not compete with food crops for land and water.<\/p>\n The cultivation of jatropha is expanding in Telangana due to its biodiesel potential. The Telangana government has set a target of planting 10 million jatropha trees by 2020. The government is providing subsidies to farmers who plant jatropha, and it is also setting up jatropha processing plants.<\/p>\n The cultivation of jatropha has been controversial, however. Some critics have argued that jatropha is not a sustainable crop, and that it can have negative environmental impacts. Others have argued that jatropha is a land grab, and that it is displacing traditional land uses.<\/p>\n Despite the controversy, jatropha remains a promising crop for biodiesel production. It is a drought-tolerant, perennial crop that can be grown on marginal land. It is also a non-food crop, which means that it does not compete with food crops for land and water. The cultivation of jatropha is expanding in Telangana due to its biodiesel potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Maize” option2=”Castor” option3=”Jatropha” option4=”Sunflower” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[994],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-telangana-and-karnataka-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n
