B Correct answer
Explanation

Paddy (rice) occupies the maximum irrigated area among crops in India. Rice cultivation requires substantial water resources and is primarily grown in irrigated conditions to ensure consistent yields. It covers more irrigated land than wheat, sugarcane, or potatoes due to its staple food status and high water requirements.
