Solution

The correct option is A Inter-cropping
Intercropping is a cropping technique in which two or more crops are cultivated simultaneously in the same piece of land adhering to a specific row pattern in order to increase the agricultural productivity. This technique is generally followed by small farmers who are completely dependent on the rainfall for better yield and do not have any other options like canals, tube wells, etc.
