Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Yes, India has three cropping seasons: rabi, Kharif and Zaid. Rabi crops are planted in the winter months of October to December and harvested in the summer months of April to June. Wheat, barley, peas, gram, and mustard are all key rabi crops. Kharif crops are planted in various sections of the country as the monsoon season begins, and they are harvested in September and October. Paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, and other important crops are grown during this season. There is a short summer season known as the Zaid season that occurs between the Rabi and Kharif seasons. Watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, and other crops are grown during 'Zaid.'
Thus the correct statement is “India has three cropping seasons: rabi, kharif and zaid”.
