D Correct answer
Explanation

Tea plantations flourish on hilly slopes with high rainfall (200-250 cm) and well-drained soil. The slopes prevent waterlogging, which tea plants are sensitive to. Cotton requires moderate rainfall, while jute needs swampy conditions and tobacco grows best in drier climates.
