Detailed Solution

Rice requires less water and dry weather is an incorrect statement.
All other statements except this are true about rice. Rice requires more water and humid weather. Firstly, it is a staple food of India as many Indians consume it. Secondly, it is grown as a primitive subsistence agricultural crop and a commercial crop, where climatic conditions are naturally available, like temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius and rainfall above 100 cm. There it is grown as a primitive crop. In the areas which don’t have these climatic conditions, the crop is grown as a commercial one. And lastly, rice cultivation is best done in clayey loamy soil as it retains moisture for a longer period. So rice is a Kharif crop.
