B
Correct answer
Explanation
'Jhum' is a traditional slash-and-burn agricultural practice practiced in northeastern India and parts of Southeast Asia. It involves cultivating crops on cleared land for a few years before abandoning it to regenerate. The term best translates to 'cultivation' rather than farming or harvesting specifically.
AI explanation
Jhum refers to a traditional form of shifting (slash-and-burn) cultivation practiced in parts of Northeast India, where land is cleared, cultivated for a few seasons, then left fallow while farmers move to a new plot. It specifically denotes this cultivation method rather than farming in general, harvesting alone, or unrelated activities.
