Answer 1

The correct option is A 1-C; 2-D; 3-A; 4-B

Farming in which crops are grown and animals are reared for selling in the market is called commercial farming. The areas experiencing low rainfall and no irrigation facilities follow dry farming where crops that require less water are cultivated.

Mixed farming is where the land is used both to grow food and fodder crops, and rear animals. Terrace farming is practised in hilly areas by creating small patches of flat land from sloped areas.
