Explanation

The correct answer is C because Arjun and Sonalika are high yielding varieties of wheat, whereas Jaya and Padma are famous varieties of rice. Arjun and Sonalika were developed during the Green Revolution to improve wheat production in India. Jaya and Padma were the first high yielding semi dwarf rice varieties released in India in the late 1960s. Therefore, only 1 and 4 are wheat varieties.
