Solution

The correct option is C small
To a large extent, the ownership of land defines the ability of a farmer to afford capital. Farmers are thus classified based on the extent of lands they hold.

Farmers who cultivate landholdings less than 2 hectares are referred to as small farmers. Farmers who own landholdings between 2 to 10 hectares are called medium farmers, and those who own more than 10 hectares are called large farmers.
