Solution

The correct option is C Subsistence intensive farming

Farming that is carried on small land holdings that produces food crops for local consumption is known as Subsistence intensive farming. It is self-sufficiency farming in which the farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their families. The output is mostly for local requirements with little or no surplus trade. The typical subsistence farm has a range of crops and animals needed by the family to feed and clothe themselves during the year. Planting decisions are made principally with an eye toward what the family will need during the coming year, and secondarily toward market prices.
