Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Asauji is the variety of Pea that is the shortest duration variety.
The early varieties are more popular in India because of better economic returns. They are not high-yielders but give high initial remuneration to the growers. Two pickings of green pods are generally done in these varieties, the first being after 60 days of sowing and the second after 15 - 20 days of first picking.
Asauji is a dwarf, green and smooth-seeded variety developed at IARI. Pods are produced singly, flowering in 30 - 35 days after sowing and blossom appears in 6 - 7 nodes. Pods are about 8 cm long, dark green, narrow and appear round when fully developed.
