Solution

The correct option is D Intensive agriculture

In intensive subsistence agriculture the farmer cultivates a small plot of land using simple tools and more labour. It is labour intensive farming, where high doses of biochemical inputs and irrigation are used for obtaining higher production. Rice is the main crop. Other crops include wheat, maize, pulses and oilseeds.
