  • D
    Watermelon, Muskmelon, Banana
  • E
    None of these

Answer

Correct Answer: Watermelon, Muskmelon, Banana

Explanation

Introduction / Context:Among the four mini-lists, only one consists entirely of fruits. Others mix cereals, legumes, or cash crops. Identify the purely fruit set.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Watermelon, Muskmelon, Banana → all fruits.
  • Coffee (beverage/plantation crop), Barley & Millet (cereals) → mixed.
  • Beans (legumes), Corn & Rice (cereals) → mixed.
  • Cotton & Jute (fibers), Coffee (plantation crop) → mixed cash/fiber crops.

Concept / Approach:Apply simple category labels (fruit/cereal/legume/fiber/cash). Select the set with all items labeled “fruit.”

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Tag each item by category.2) Only option D yields fruit for all three.3) Hence D is correct.

Verification / Alternative check:Everyday grocery classification (fruits section) would place all three of D together; the others would be split across aisles/types.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They combine different crop types and therefore are not homogeneous fruit sets.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing “coffee” with a “fruit”—coffee cherries are fruits botanically, but in everyday classification coffee is a beverage/plantation crop, not sold as a fruit.

Final Answer:Watermelon, Muskmelon, Banana
