This is not a good question, because there are different varieties of these plants, some of which are found in both the Old and the New world.
For example, rice as we know it today did not grow in the New world, but what we call Wild rice did -- and still does. It isn't exactly the same as the Asian version of rice but is very similar. Both evolved from types of wild grass. Potatoes grew in the New World, were transplanted to the Old World, and then brought back to the New World. Some types of sweet potatoes grew in the old world. So this question isn't precise enough. And it ignores Asia and Africa, which are neither the New World nor the Old World, although both contributed to the world's supply of food plants -- eg rice and peppers.
If this is a homework question, you might ask your teacher exactly which versions of these plants s/he is talking about.

All of the above. Corn, while thought by most to be a new world product was raised in the Nile Valley thousands of years ago.

Well, if I had to pick one of those, it would be potatoes. All of them did in fact exist in different cultures prior to the rise of the new world, however only potatoes were commonly eaten and recognized by your average white European individual, and they weren't real fond of potatoes. I'm fairly sure.
