Detailed Solution

The correct option is 3rd, as the crops cultivated during winter are called Rabi crops.
Rabi crops are grown from October to December and are popularly called winter crops. They are sown during winter and harvested in spring. Kharif crops are grown during the monsoons and require a good amount of rainfall. However, Rabi crops don't need much rainfall harvesting, usually from March to April. Some major Rabi crops are wheat, barley, gram, banana, orange, beetroot, and potato. Some Kharif crops include paddy, maize, cotton, jute, apple, soybean, and turmeric. Another type of crop is Zaid crops grown during the short summer period. Watermelon and cucumber are Zaid crops.
