Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists: List I (Name of Shifting Cultivation) A. Roca B. Chena C. Masole D. Tamrai List II (Country) 1. Sri Lanka 2. Thailand 3. Brazil 4. Zaire Code:

Shifting cultivation, a primitive form of subsistence agriculture, is known by various regional names globally. Roca is the term used for this practice in Brazil [6]. Chena is the traditional name for shifting cultivation in Sri Lanka [6]. Masole is practiced in the Congo Basin and Zaire (Central Africa) [6]. Tamrai is the specific name used in Thailand [6]. Matching these pairs: A-3 (Roca-Brazil), B-1 (Chena-Sri Lanka), C-4 (Masole-Zaire), and D-2 (Tamrai-Thailand). This corresponds to the sequence 3, 1, 4, 2. The practice involves clearing forest patches by slashing and burning vegetation to enrich the soil with potash before planting crops [5]. Once soil fertility declines, usually after a few years, the farmers move to a new plot, allowing the previous land to fallow and regenerate naturally [5].
