Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. extensive cultivation.

Cultivating large farms with moderately low inputs of labor and capital is referred to as "extensive farming." In extensive farming, large areas of land are utilized with relatively minimal inputs per unit of land.

This approach is often contrasted with intensive farming, where smaller areas of land are cultivated with high inputs of labor and capital per unit of land, leading to higher yields per unit area. Extensive farming is commonly practiced in areas where land is abundant and labor or capital is limited.
