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 method uses simple tools like hoes and digging sticks, and its typical form is slash and burn cultivation, so I matches c.
Step 2: Match intensive subsistence farming.
Practised on small plots in crowded regions, it depends heavily on manual labour to raise output, so II matches d.
Step 3: Match commercial and plantation farming.
Commercial farming leans on machines and modern inputs with comparatively little manual labour, matching III with a, while plantation farming grows one crop like tea or coffee across a large area, matching IV with b.
Step 4: Combine and answer.
Putting these together gives I-c, II-d, III-a, IV-b, which is option C.
