B Correct answer
Explanation

Millets (like bajra, jowar, ragi) are primarily grown using dry farming techniques in India, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and other states with low rainfall. These crops are well-adapted to drought conditions and require minimal irrigation. Dry farming relies on soil moisture conservation rather than irrigation, making millets ideal for such agricultural systems.
