Question

Match Column - I with Column - II and choose the correct option:

• A. (I)-(c), (II)-(a), (III)-(d), (IV)-(b)
• B. (I)-(a), (II)-(b), (III)-(d), (IV)-(c)
• C. (I)-(c), (II)-(d), (III)-(a), (IV)-(b)
• D. (I)-(d), (II)-(c), (III)-(b), (IV)-(a)

Hint:

Remember these easy associations:

• Primitive Subsistence Farming $\rightarrow$ Slash and Burn Cultivation.

• Intensive Subsistence Farming $\rightarrow$ Labour Intensive.

• Commercial Farming $\rightarrow$ Modern Inputs and Mechanization.

• Plantation Farming $\rightarrow$ Single Crop on Large Estates.
A simple memory trick is: \[ \boxed{\text{Primitive--Slash Burn, Intensive--Labour, Commercial--Modern, Plantation--Single Crop}} \] These matches are frequently asked in CBSE and other competitive examinations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Match Primitive Subsistence Farming.
This old style of farming, done with simple tools, is best known through slash and burn cultivation, so I links to (c).
Step 2: Match Intensive Subsistence Farming.
Where land is scarce and labour is plentiful, farmers work the same plot intensively by hand, matching II to (d), labour intensive cultivation.
Step 3: Match Commercial and Plantation Farming.
Commercial farming leans on machines and modern inputs with less manpower, matching III to (a), while plantation farming grows one crop over a large area, matching IV to (b).
Step 4: Conclude.
Putting these together gives I-c, II-d, III-a, IV-b. The correct answer is option (C).
