Solution

The correct option is A shift in occupation
In a span of five years, many farmers have abandoned agriculture in Tamil Nadu. The primary reason is that the farmers have shifted to other occupations. Since the cultivable area increases and decreases as per rainfall, the employment opportunities for labourers also increase and decrease. Hence, they take up other professions.
