Correct Answer:
D. North east
Explanation:
Jhum cultivation, also known as shifting cultivation or slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional farming method predominantly practiced in the North Eastern states of India, such as Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya. This technique involves clearing a patch of forest land by cutting and burning vegetation to create a fertile, ash-enriched plot for growing crops. After a few years of harvest, when the soil loses its nutrients, farmers move to a new area, allowing the previous land to regenerate naturally. Because of the hilly terrain and indigenous agricultural traditions in this region, the North East remains the primary geographic area for this practice.
