Solution

The correct option is D Shifting cultivation
The taungya is a system whereby villagers and sometimes forest plantation workers are given the right to cultivate agricultural crops during the early stages of forest plantation establishment. Cultivation is often allowed to continue until trees shade crops due to canopy closure. It is a method of planting forest trees in combination with food crops. It has its origins in Southeast Asia where it was introduced in a bid to restore tree cover following shifting cultivation.
So the correct option is 'Shifting cultivation' .
