Which of these are of wheat?
Arjun and Sonalika are high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of wheat. These varieties were instrumental during the Green Revolution in India, developed to enhance wheat productivity. Sonalika was one of the prominent semi-dwarf wheat varieties widely adopted by farmers. Jaya and Padma, conversely, are high-yielding varieties of rice, also developed during the Green Revolution era to boost paddy output.
Options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect because they include Jaya or Padma, which are high-yielding varieties of rice, not wheat. Only Arjun and Sonalika are wheat varieties among the given options.
