Which of the following are correctly matched ?
| Agricultural Practices | Description |
|---|---|
| (A) Subsistence Farming | Practiced to meet the needs of farmer's own family |
| (B) Intensive Subsistence Agriculture | Prevalent in the thickly populated areas |
| (C) Shifting Cultivation | People and animals move from place to place |
Choose the correct option.
Answer: B
Pairs A and B are correctly matched, so the answer is (A) and (B).
Subsistence farming is practised to meet the needs of the farmer's own family (A). Intensive subsistence agriculture, in which a small plot is farmed with simple tools and much labour, is prevalent in thickly populated areas such as the monsoon regions of south, south-east and east Asia (B).
Pair C is wrong. Shifting cultivation means clearing a patch of forest by slashing and burning, growing crops on it for a few years and then moving to a new patch. 'People and animals move from place to place' describes nomadic herding, in which herders move with their animals in search of pasture. So the options including C are wrong.
