Solution
The correct option is B Podu
The Konda Reddy tribes practise Podu. Podu is also called as Slash and burn, Jhum, and shifting cultivation. They choose a plot of land and clear it for agriculture by setting fire to it. After they finish cultivation, they let the area replenish its fertility, by not using it for the next 3 to 5 years. They find another plot of land to cultivate during this period, and this cycle keeps repeating.
