D Correct answer
Explanation

Red soil is typically well-drained, porous, and less fertile than alluvial soil. It's ideal for drought-resistant coarse cereals like jowar (sorghum) and bajra (pearl millet) that require less water. Rice and wheat need fertile, water-retentive soil; pea and cotton need different conditions; cotton and tea are not commonly grown together on red soil.
