Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Side harvesting or partial harvesting is practiced in our country in Colocasia.
The crop becomes ready for harvesting 120 - 150 days after planting. When the leaves start becoming yellow, which is a sign of maturity. The corms from the early harvest are comparatively soft and are suitable for table purposes but cannot be stored for long. The moisture in the field should be sufficient at the time of harvesting for easy lifting of corms which can be done by spades or other hand tools.
