Read the passage and answer the question. "When the heavy rains came, the farmer's yam field was flooded. He remembered the old advice that cassava thrives in wet soil, so he cleared a small plot and planted cassava seedlings instead of waiting for the yam to recover. By the next season, the cassava yielded a good harvest while the yam remained stunted." Why did the farmer decide to plant cassava instead of yam?

Answer Options

A. The farmer believed cassava yields larger tubers than yam, so he chose cassava to maximize profit despite the flood.
B. Since cassava requires less sunlight than yam, the farmer planted cassava to make use of the cloudy season.
C. Because yam grows faster than cassava in dry conditions, the farmer switched to yam to speed up the harvest.
Correct Answer D. Because cassava tolerates water‑logged soil while yam does not, the farmer planted cassava to obtain a harvest despite the flooding.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Because cassava tolerates water‑logged soil while yam does not, the farmer planted cassava to obtain a harvest despite the flooding.
