Solution

The correct option is C Slash and burn
Slash and burn is the other name of Jhuma Cultivation.
Slash and burn agriculture is a widely used method of growing food in which wild or forested land is clear cut and any remaining vegetation burned. The resulting layer of ash provides the newly-cleared land with a nutrient-rich layer to help fertilize crops.
