Solution
The correct option is A Milpa
Swidden cultivation or shifting agriculture is an old practice. It involves clearing out a part of the forest and using this to cultivate other produce. Since the forest is cleared by burning it, it is also known as slash and burn cultivation. It is known by numerous names like Milpa, Penda, and Ladig. Although temporarily it could cause ecological imbalance, the land when left uncultivated for a decade, restores the forest to its originality.
