The correct option is C Kumari
Shifting farming, an ancient type of farming is practiced by some tribal people from the outskirts of cities and villages in India. It is a form of agriculture in which an area of ground is cleared of vegetation and cultivated for a few years and then abandoned for a new area until its fertility has been naturally restored. Major crops like rice, corn, jowar, bajra, ragi, chillies, oil-seeds, etc are grown under shifting cultivation. It is known by various names in various regions like Kumari in Karnataka and Ponam in Kerala.
