Question

Which of the following is a tree fodder?

• A. Lucerne
• B. Maize
• C. Subabul
• D. Berseem

Hint:

Choose the one that is a tree.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Find tree fodder in the passage
The passage says tree fodders are leaves from trees like subabul and banyan. They give protein in the dry season.

Step 2: Check option (1) Lucerne
Lucerne is a leguminous herb grown as a green fodder crop, called the queen of fodder. It is not a tree. So option (1) is wrong.

Step 3: Check option (2) Maize
Maize is a cereal crop used as green fodder and for silage. It is not a tree. So option (2) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (3) Subabul
Subabul (Leucaena) is a tree, and the passage names it as a tree fodder. So option (3) is correct.

Step 5: Check option (4) Berseem
Berseem is a winter legume fodder crop and not a tree. So option (4) is wrong.

Final Answer:
Subabul is a tree fodder, which is option (3). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (3)}} \]
