B Correct answer
Explanation

Jatropha curcas is the most widely used crop for biodiesel production, especially in India and other tropical countries. It is preferred because it grows on marginal, arid land without competing with food crops, produces seeds with high oil content (around 35-40%), and requires minimal maintenance. The oil is processed into biodiesel.
