Question: Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank 6.
Option 1: these
Option 2: when
Option 3: which

Correct Answer: which
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
"Which" is used here to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the preceding noun, in this case, the seven lakhs earned from selling cotton. It connects the fact of selling the cotton for seven lakhs to the farmer's intention for the money—funding his daughter's studies. The use of "which" smoothly links these two pieces of information.
