Solution

The correct option is D Podu agriculture
Podu, or slash-and-burn, is an agricultural practice where a patch of forest is cleared and burnt away. Seeds are sown in this cleared area; and the crops are then grown and harvested. The process is repeated. As a patch of land loses fertility, a new patch of land is identified for podu.
