Mustard is often used as a

Diamond Back moth (Plutella xylostella), which is a major pest of cabbage. The trap crop attracts the moth, reducing damage to the main cabbage crop.
Other options:

(b) Cabbage butterfly: While cabbage butterflies are pests, they are not as attracted to mustard as the Diamond Back moth.
·
(c) Leaf Webber: Not primarily attracted to mustard as a trap crop.
·
(d) Cabbage semilooper: A different pest, not primarily attracted to mustard.
