Correct Answer: Option A — Only a
Here is the evaluation of each statement based on agricultural science:

Statement (a) is correct: Rabi crops are known as "winter crops." They are typically sown at the beginning of winter, between October and November, after the monsoon rains have subsided.

Statement (b) is incorrect: Unlike Kharif crops (like paddy), Rabi crops do not require a lot of water. They grow well with moderate irrigation and the occasional winter rain (Western Disturbances).

Statement (c) is incorrect: Rabi crops require a cool climate for their growth and germination. They only need a warm/sunny climate at the time of ripening and harvesting (usually in the spring).
