Why is choosing a high water-demand crop risky under weak irrigation facilities?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Water shortage increases chances of yield loss

A crop with high water demand needs dependable irrigation or regular rainfall during its growing period. When irrigation facilities are weak, water may not reach the field at the right time or in sufficient quantity. A shortage can reduce germination, plant growth, grain or fruit formation, and final yield. It can also increase the farmer’s financial risk because money spent on seed, labour, and fertilizer may not be recovered. Crop choice should therefore match the actual availability and reliability of water.

Option A is correct because inadequate water directly raises the possibility of poor production or crop failure. Option B is unrelated: choosing a crop cannot bring the market nearer. Option C does not follow because crop selection cannot change a land map. Option D is also false; water-demanding crops do not automatically eliminate pests. The reasoning is based on resource matching: a farm should choose crops whose water needs its irrigation system can safely meet.
