The Pohang Steel Company of South Korea is planning to start a steel plant in the DELTA region of Paradip. The people of this region are protesting against this as they fear that they will lose their agricultural land. Which of these crops is MOST likely to be affected?

A. Coffee

B. Cotton

C. Rice

D. Orange

The correct answer is rice (C)

Explanation:

The key to the answer is in the word "DELTA", that is probably why it was capitalized too. A delta region is a low flat region where a river divides into several tributaries before flowing into the sea, and it is sometimes shaped like a triangle. Among the crops listed, the crop planted in this kind of land is rice, which requires a lot of water and sometimes it is planted in flooded lands or close to the river.
