Solution
The correct option is B Subsistence agriculture
The goal of subsistence agriculture is to produce enough food to ensure the survival of the family. Any excess food produced is typically sold to other families or individuals. Most of the South American continent is covered with forests, mountains, and deserts. This naturally limits the amount of agriculture possible. Only 10% of the total land area is suitable for cultivation. As a result of this, subsistence agriculture is practised on the continent.
