Detailed Solution
Genetic diversity is the variation shown by a single species at the genetic level.
NCERT states that India has more than 50,000 genetically different strains of rice and 1,000 varieties of mango.
Rice is not among the choices; of the plants listed, mango, with about 1,000 varieties, is the one cited for high genetic diversity in India.
Hence the answer is mango.
Note: the key in the source PDF marks 'Wheat'; the NCERT-based answer, mango, is taken as correct here.
