Answer: D
The potato's centre of origin is Peru.
The cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum, was domesticated in the Andes of southern Peru and north-western Bolivia, around Lake Titicaca, some 7,000 to 10,000 years ago. In Vavilov's scheme it belongs to the South American (Peruvian-Ecuadorean-Bolivian) centre, which also gave tomato and lima bean.
India received the potato from the Portuguese in the seventeenth century, Brazil is associated with crops such as cassava and groundnut, and Australia is not a centre of origin for any major crop.
