Q1Karewa formations are useful for the cultivation of __________.
Explanation
Karewa formations are lacustrine deposits found mainly in the Kashmir Valley, and they are especially associated with saffron cultivation. Zafran is another name used for saffron, so this choice matches the geographical use of these deposits. Cotton requires warmer black-soil or alluvial conditions, jute is linked with humid alluvial deltaic areas, and coffee is grown in suitable hilly plantation regions of peninsular India. These crops are not the characteristic use of Karewa deposits.
