Explanation

Option (B) Plantation Agriculture is the correct answer. The provided text explicitly states that 'Plantation is also a type of commercial farming. In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area.' This definition matches the description in the question perfectly. Option (A) is incorrect because Shifting Agriculture is described in the text as practised on 'small patches of land.' Option (D) is incorrect because Intensive Agriculture is characterised by 'high population pressure on land' and being labour-intensive, rather than the specific criteria of a single crop on a large area.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Analyze the key phrase in the question: 'a single crop is grown on a large area'.

  2. Step 2: Locate the matching definition in the text. The text states for Plantation Agriculture: 'In this type of farming, a single crop is grown on a large area.'

  3. Step 3: Verify other options using the text. Shifting Agriculture uses 'small patches of land', and Intensive Agriculture involves 'high population pressure'.

  4. Step 4: Conclude that Option (B) is the correct match.
