The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Crown root initiation (CRI) occurs around 21 days after sowing in wheat. Irrigation at this stage is crucial as it promotes the development of crown roots, which are essential for nutrient and water uptake. Missing irrigation at CRI can lead to significant yield reductions.
