Solution

The correct option is A Wheat
Himgiri (HS 375) is a wheat variety developed by hybridization and selection for disease resistance and leaf and stripe rust pathogens suitable for timely sown and rainfed irrigated conditions.

HS-375 and HS375 are the two common varieties of Himgiri. HS- 375 is produced on irrigated/rain-fed area. It is medium fertility and late sown hybrid of Himgiri, while HS375 is produced on very high altitude i.e., in the northern Himalayan and Garhwal region.

'Himgiri' is resistant to leaf and stripe rust and hill bunt diseases.
