Solution

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Monocropping is the practice of growing the same crop year after year. This approach is guided initially by low income therefore low risk appetite for multi cropping pattern. Lack of irrigation facilities like in tribal and far flung regions of Bundelkhand is another reason.
Farmers' comfort and assured market for some crops like paddy in Punjab and Sugarcane in Western UP is also promoting it.
