Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Shifting cultivation is the practice of ‘slash and burn’ also known as ‘Jhum kheti'. It is practiced in the northeastern region of India, including Assam, Manipur, Mizoram and the Naga hills of Nagaland.
Subsistence farming is the form in which nearly all the crops or livestock raised are used to maintain the farmer and his family. It is practiced in the Ganga delta region.
Commercial farming uses higher doses of modern inputs to achieve higher productivity. It is mostly practiced in American Prairies.
Plantation agriculture is a type of commercial farming in which a single crop is grown for the entire year. It is practiced for the plantation of tea, coffee, etc in the gardens of Assam.
