According to me, the Rice must me the correct answer.

As per my understanding, coconut is the correct answer.

Cotton and sugarcane should be right.

Cotton and sugar cane are cash crop and Rice is a food crop.

Definition of plantation crop: It is defined as large scale production of tropical crop by uniform system of cultivation under cultural management.

Major crops are grown as: Tea, coffee, coconut, rubber, cocoa, cashew nut.

Cotton is the right answer.

A plantation is a long, artificially-established forest, farm or estate, where crops are grown for sale, often in distant markets rather than for local on-site consumption. The term plantation is informal and not precisely defined. Plantations are grown on a large scale as the crops are grown for commercial purposes, not for local consumption.

Crops grown on plantations include fast-growing trees (often conifers) , cotton, coffee, tobacco, sugarcane, sisal, some oil seeds (notably oil palms) and rubber trees. Farms that produce alfalfa, Lespedeza, clover, and other forage crops are usually not called plantations. The term "plantation" has usually not included large orchards (except for banana plantations) , but does include the planting of trees for lumber. A plantation is always a monoculture over a large area and does not include extensive naturally occurring stands of plants that have economic value. Because of its large size, a plantation takes advantage of economies of scale. Protectionist policies and natural comparative advantage have contributed to determining where plantations have been located.

Sugar and cotton are also plantation crops I guess as the question goes. Any kind of crop planted for commercial purposes on a large scale comes under plantation crops.

Plantation crops are temporarily set up forests, farms or estates for the purpose of exporting them rather than local consumption. Plantations may be harmful or useful depending on the type of crop cultivated.
