Option 1: these
Option 2: when
Option 3: which
Option 4: those
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.
