Solution

The correct option is B Farmers
Majority of farmers in India practice subsistence farming. It is characterised by small and scattered landholdings and use of primitive tools, like hoe and digging sticks by family members. As the farmers are poor, they do not use fertilisers or (HYV) seeds in their fields. Most of the food production is consumed by the farmers and their families.
