A Correct answer
Explanation

Tea is a major plantation crop grown on the slopes of Nilgiri hills in the Western Ghats. The Nilgiri region has ideal conditions for tea cultivation - high altitude, adequate rainfall, and well-drained soil. While coffee is also grown in southern India, it's more associated with Coorg and Chikmagalur in Karnataka. Sugarcane and jute require different growing conditions and are not plantation crops of this region.
