Explanation

The sentence 'cotton is ___ grown in hot and tropical places' needs an adverb describing frequency or predominance. 'Mostly' correctly indicates that cotton is PRIMARILY or PREDOMINANTLY grown in hot regions. 'Separately' and 'temporarily' don't make sense contextually. 'Surely' expresses certainty rather than frequency.
