Which of the following fruit crop originated in temperate region but established well in subtropical region

Correct option is C

Grapes originated in temperate regions of the world, where cool winters and moderate summers were naturally prevalent. Due to their wide adaptability and varietal diversity, grapes have successfully established themselves in subtropical regions as well. In India, grapes are grown extensively under subtropical conditions with proper management practices. Therefore, grapes are the correct answer.
Information booster: Grapes require a defined dormant period, which can be achieved even under subtropical climatic conditions. They are cultivated for table consumption, raisin production, and wine making. India has adapted grape cultivation through canopy management and regulated irrigation. Grapes contribute significantly to fruit export earnings of the country.
Why other options are incorrect: (a) Guava is a tropical fruit crop and did not originate in temperate regions. (b) Apple is a strictly temperate fruit and does not perform well in subtropical climates. (d) Pear is mainly a temperate fruit crop with limited adaptability to subtropical conditions.
