Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
(A) Intensive subsistence — this matches (I) Landholding size is small. Land holdings are very small because of the high density of population.
(B) Primitive subsistence — this matches (II) Shifting cultivation. Primitive subsistence agriculture is the same farming as shifting cultivation, practised by tribes in the tropics.
(C) Plantation agriculture — this matches (III) Large estates. Large estates or plantations are its first characteristic feature.
(D) Mixed Farming — this matches (IV) Fodder crops are an important component. Mixed farms grow fodder along with wheat, barley and other crops because animals are reared on the same farm.
NCERT (2025-26): “Primitive Subsistence Agriculture Primitive subsistence agriculture or shifting cultivation is widely practised by many tribes in the tropics, especially in Africa, south and central America and south east Asia (Fig. 4.7).” “Intensive Subsistence Agriculture … (i) Intensive subsistence agriculture dominated by wet paddy cultivation: This type of agriculture is characterised by dominance of the rice crop. Land holdings are very small due to the high density of population.…” “Plantation Agriculture … The characteristic features of this type of farming are large estates or plantations, large capital investment, managerial and technical support, scientific methods of cultivation, single crop specialisation, cheap labour, and a good system of transportation which links the estates to the factories and markets for the export of the products.…” “Mixed Farming … Mixed farms are moderate in size and usually the crops associated with it are wheat, barley, oats, rye, maize, fodder and root crops. Fodder crops are an important component of mixed farming. Crop rotation and intercropping play an important role in maintaining soil fertility.…”
