The correct answer is: B. Kuruwa

Kuruwa is a type of shifting cultivation practiced in Jharkhand, India. It is also known as Jhum cultivation or slash-and-burn agriculture. In Kuruwa, trees are cut down and burned, and the ashes are used to fertilize the soil. The land is then cultivated for a few years before being abandoned and allowed to regenerate.

Kuruwa is a traditional practice that has been used for centuries by the tribal people of Jharkhand. It is a sustainable form of agriculture that helps to maintain the forest ecosystem. However, Kuruwa can also lead to deforestation and soil erosion if it is not practiced carefully.
