C Correct answer
Explanation

Tea requires heavy rainfall (2000-2500 mm annually) but needs well-drained soil to prevent water logging, which damages its roots. Rice grows in standing water and actually requires water logging. Jute also needs substantial water but tolerates waterlogged conditions. Groundnut is a drought-resistant crop requiring less water.
