Solution

The correct option is B inter-cropping
Inter-cropping refers to growing two or more crops with different nutrient requirements, simultaneously on the same field in a definite pattern​. The idea behind intercropping is to produce a greater yield on a given piece of land by making use of resources that would otherwise not be utilised by a single crop.
