D Wheat, rice and barley

Detailed Solution

Cereals of the grass family provide the bulk of the world's food grains.
Wheat, rice and maize together account for the major part of the global production of food grains and supply most of the calories consumed by humans.
Rice is the staple food of Asia, wheat of the temperate regions, and maize is grown widely for food and fodder.
Sorghum and barley are produced in much smaller quantities.
So the three crops that contribute maximum to global food grain production are wheat, rice and maize.
