Correct answer: C

Kharif crops are the monsoon crops.
They go in as the south-west monsoon arrives, around June and July, and come off in September and October.
Rabi crops follow the opposite cycle, sown in October and November and harvested in spring.

Worth noting

Rice, maize, bajra and cotton are kharif crops; wheat, barley, gram and mustard are rabi.
