A Correct answer
Explanation

For the 2010 wheat crop (harvested from April 2010), the Union government fixed the Minimum Support Price (MSP) at Rs 1,100 per quintal. MSP is a government-guaranteed price to protect farmers from price fluctuations. The higher options (Rs 1,200, Rs 1,290, Rs 1,320) were not the MSP for that specific year.
