Fertile plains
Abundant irrigation systems
Mountainous terrain
Large-scale mechanization
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: c) Mountainous terrain.
Terrace farming is a type of agriculture that is used in mountainous areas. It involves creating a series of terraces on the side of a hill or mountain. This allows farmers to grow crops on land that would otherwise be too steep or rocky to farm.
Sikkim is a state in India that is located in the Himalayas. It is a mountainous state with a lot of steep terrain. Terrace farming is a common agricultural practice in Sikkim because it allows farmers to grow crops on land that would otherwise be unusable.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Fertile plains are not common in Sikkim. The state is mostly mountainous, with a few small plains.
- Abundant irrigation systems are not necessary for terrace farming. The terraces collect rainwater and snowmelt, which provides enough water for the crops.
- Large-scale mechanization is not possible in terrace farming. The terraces are too small and steep for large machines to operate.
