C Correct answer
Explanation

Tea is an ideal crop for areas with high rainfall (over 200 cm annually) and sloping hills because: (1) tea plants require well-drained soil which slopes provide, preventing waterlogging; (2) the high rainfall supports tea's water-intensive cultivation needs; (3) the hill slopes offer proper drainage and ideal growing conditions. Major tea-growing regions in India (Assam, Darjeeling, Nilgiris) all meet these conditions. Jute and cotton require different soil and climate conditions, while maize is less dependent on these specific conditions.
