  • Paddy
  • Wheat
  • Groundnut
  • Sorghum
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall the fact needed:
Different crop residues carry different names. Cereals with fine stems give straw, sorghum and maize give stover, and legumes or oilseeds give haulm.

Step 2: Test the choice numbered 1.
Option 1 gives paddy straw. The name straw is used for rice, so haulm does not fit.

Step 3: Test the choice numbered 2.
Option 2 gives wheat straw. This is also called bhusa, so haulm does not fit.

Step 4: Test the choice numbered 3.
Option 3 gives groundnut haulm. Groundnut is an oilseed legume, so its dry vines are called haulm. This fits.

Step 5: Test the choice numbered 4.
Option 4 gives sorghum stover. The name stover is used for sorghum and maize, so haulm does not fit.

Final Answer:
Groundnut is the crop whose dry fodder is haulm. \[\boxed{3}\]
