Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Fruit crop suitable for high soil pH Aonla.
Aonla being a sub-tropical crop prefers a dry sub-tropical climate. Heavy frost during the winter season is not suitable for its cultivation. Slightly acidic to saline/sodic soil having a pH between 6.5 to 9.5 is suitable for cultivation.
Due to the high erosion of soil, most of the soils are sandy to coarse loams in nature and have pH in the range of 7.1 to 8.5. These soils are most suited for orcharding, particularly aonla plantations.
