Q. Which of the following factors are responsible for the rapid growth of sugar production in south India as compared to north India?
I.Higher per acre field of sugarcane
II.Higher sucrose content of sugarcane
III.Lower labour cost
IV.Longer crushing period

Higher per acre yield of sugarcane (I) leads to more production.

Higher sucrose content (II) means better quality and more sugar extracted.
Longer crushing period (IV) allows more time to process sugarcane, increasing output.
Lower labour cost (III) is generally not a major factor compared to the above.

So, factors responsible are I, II, and IV — option (D).
