Explanation:

- Rice is a staple crop that thrives in hot, humid climates. It requires temperatures ranging from 21°C to 37°C, making it perfect for tropical and subtropical regions.

- It needs well-distributed rainfall or irrigation of about 100 cm annually to grow successfully.

- Bajra (millet) is more drought-resistant and can grow in drier conditions than rice, often preferring semi-arid regions with less rainfall.

- Pulses are also generally drought-resistant and can grow in less favorable conditions than rice.

- Oilseeds, like sunflowers and soybeans, vary in their climate preferences but often do not require as much water as rice.

Option 1: Rice is the correct answer.
