Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Uttar Pradesh was the largest wheat producer in 2003-04. The examination-period Economic Survey 2004-05, Table 1.15, reports provisional production of 25.57 million tonnes for Uttar Pradesh (35.48% of all-India production), compared with Punjab 14.42 and Haryana 9.13 million tonnes. Madhya Pradesh does not displace Uttar Pradesh in that ranking. The figures refer to the requested historical year, not a current production ranking.
