D Correct answer
Explanation

Tea cultivation requires high rainfall (150-250 cm annually), abundant sunshine, gently sloping hills (for drainage), and well-drained acidic soil. Rice requires standing water, jute needs high humidity in alluvial soil, and sugarcane grows in tropical plains with different requirements. These conditions specifically match tea estates in regions like Darjeeling and Assam.
