Solution

The correct option is D Shifting agriculture
  • 0Slash and burn farming is a form of shifting agriculture where the natural vegetation is cut down and burned as a method of clearing the land for cultivation, and then, when the plot becomes infertile, the farmer moves to a new fresh plot and does the same again.
  • This process is repeated over and over.
