    For the sugar cane to grow successfully, it needs to have approximately 150 cm between each row of plants.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because sugar cane requires a certain amount of space between each row of plants in order to grow successfully. This spacing allows for adequate sunlight, airflow, and access to nutrients for each plant. If the rows are too close together, the plants may compete for resources and become overcrowded, leading to stunted growth and reduced yields. Therefore, maintaining approximately 150 cm between each row is important for the healthy growth of sugar cane crops.
