The correct option is A Shifting cultivation
The Slash and Burn agriculture is also known as " Podu " Cultivation or Shifting Cultivation or Jhumming Cultivation.

This was first followed in Africa and some parts of India. Now most of the countries have banned this type of Cultivation because it results to the deforestation of many forests.
