Answer»

Right choice is (d) Pumpkin

To explain: HYDROPONICS is the process of growing plants in artificial nutrient media. Tomato, Lettuce and Seedless cucumber are grown commercially by the process of hydroponics. Pumpkin and other melons are not grown hydroponically. These plants require a lot of SPACE to grow as they spread and INCREASE in size. Also, pollination is difficult as they need bees to pollinate them. So, hydroponics of these vegetables BECOMES highly LABOR intensive.
