After consulting agricultural advisers, Ade decided to plant a new variety of drought‑resistant sorghum, hoping it would survive the erratic weather." Why did Ade decide to plant drought‑resistant sorghum?

Correct Option:
Because the climate had become drier, causing his maize to fail, so he needed a crop that could survive drought conditions.
