Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (Barley)

आधुनिक मानव समाज द्वारा मुख्य रूप से 8 खाद्य अनाजों का उपभोग किया गया है-जौ, गेहूं, चावल, मक्का, बाजरा, सोरघम, राई एवं जई। अनाजों के पौधे विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में जंगली घास के रूप में विद्यमान थे, जिन्हें बीजों के रूप में अलग-अलग क्षेत्र में, अलग-अलग समय पर मानव ने उगाया। वैश्विक दृष्टि से देखा जाए, तो सर्वप्रथम जौ (Barley) 8000 ई.पू. के आस-पास भूमध्य सागर एवं ईरान के मध्य स्थित पश्चिमी एशिया के देश में मानव द्वारा उगाया गया। बाद में लगभग इन्हीं क्षेत्रों में 8000 ई.पू. के आस-पास ही गेहूं (Wheat) भी उगाया जाने लगा।

There are mainly eight types of food grains consumed by modern human society, namely barley, wheat, maize, millet, sorghum, mustard, oat and rice. These plants were present in the form of weeds in different areas, which were later grown as seeds by human beings at different places, in different times. Although, barley was the first grain to be cultivated by human beings during 8000 B.C. in western Asian countries located between the northeast Mediterranean Sea and Iran. Later, in the same area, wheat was also cultivated around 8000 B.C.
