The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Harvesting**: The first step in crop production is harvesting, which involves cutting and gathering mature crops. This can be done using a hand-held tool like a sickle or a machine known as a harvester. 2. **Post-Harvesting Process**: Once the crops are harvested, the next step is to separate the grains from the rest of the plant material. This is an essential part of preparing the grains for storage and consumption. 3. **Defining the Process**: The specific process of separating the grains from the harvested crops is known as "threshing." This involves beating the harvested crop to release the grains from the husks or stalks. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that the process of beating out the grains from harvested crops is called "threshing." ---
