Explanation:

Forst formation and water logging both make water saline which affect its taste while a higher diurnal temperature and low humidity are required for a better productivity. Thus these two factors are not reducing the productivity. Hence option 1st is correct.
Sub-tropical sugarcane region: Around 55 per cent of total cane area in the country is in the sub-tropics. U.P, Bihar, Haryana and Punjab comes under this region.
In the tropical region, sugarcane gets more or less ideal climatic conditions for its growth. It is cultivated with better package of practices and higher irrigation levels. The growing season is long with more equitable and favourable conditions
Sugarcane take generally one year to mature in sub tropical states (U.P., Punjab, Haryana, Bihar etc.) called “Eksali” however in some tropical states it matures in 18 months (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra etc.) called “Adsali”.
In India planting Seasons of Sugarcane in subtropical regions are September to October (Autumn) and February to March (spring), whereas in tropical regions it is June to August (Adsali) and January to February and October to November (Eksali). Apart from this in some states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu sugarcane planting continue throughout the year except few months.

Dear Abhinandan, actually in this question there was a printing error, by the way coming to your both points we always kept that point in our consideration. Keep going.

Abhinandan

Hello sir, Thank you for a prompt response. It is expected from a reputed institute like Abhimanu IAS to promptly reply to the student query/doubt and I was really glad to witness the same. It shows the commitment of your team. However, I am not so satisfied with the response that I got. The objection has been raised in the question, not the explanation. There are two Points that I would like to mention here: Point 1: Kindly tell me if after reading the question, it is clear to you what exactly you have to do with the given items/statements. No where has it been mentioned if we have to select the statements that justify low productivity of the sugarcane or the statements that do not qualify as reason for low productivity of the sugarcane. Kindly add a suitable instruction in the question so as to make the question complete. Point 2: The question that I read while giving the online test was a little different and it seems that the question was later modified to make it appear correct. However, the error still persists as explained in my point 1. I hope that the same will be acknowledged and not repeated again as it gives a bad impression about the quality of test series and undermines the brand name. Students like me have shown trust in the quality content and services of Abhimanu, I sincerely hope that this 'trust' is upheld. Warm Regards.
