Consider the following statements regarding soil types and crop suitability in Bihar's agro-climatic zones: 1. Zone I is characterized by calcareous alluvial soils, making it highly suitable for autumn paddy, maize, and tobacco. 2. Zone II has non-calcareous, acidic to neutral soils, which favor the cultivation of jute, maize, and pineapple. 3. Zone III has heavy clayey soils (including Tal soils) that remain submerged during monsoons, making them ideal for rabi crops like pulses and oilseeds post-monsoon. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

• A: 1 and 2 only
• B: 2 and 3 only
• C: 1 and 3 only
• D: 1, 2 and 3
