(B) Alley Cropping	(II) A type of system where trees or shrubs are grown for harvest alongside other crops
(C) Strip Cropping	(III) A type of polyculture where two or more crops are grown together at random

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

Explanation:
• Agroforestry (II): A collective name for land-use systems where woody perennials (trees/shrubs) are grown on the same land-management units as agricultural crops.
• Alley Cropping (I): Specifically refers to planting crops in 'alleys' formed by rows of trees or shrubs.
• Strip Cropping (IV): Growing different crops in narrow strips (usually along contours) to reduce erosion.
• Mixed Cropping (III): Sowing two or more crops together on the same land without a definite row arrangement (random).

Information Booster:
• Agro-silviculture: Trees + Crops.
• Silvo-pastoral: Trees + Livestock/Pasture.
• Agro-silvo-pastoral: Trees + Crops + Livestock.

Additional Knowledge:
• Alley cropping is a subset of Agroforestry. Strip cropping is primarily a soil conservation technique.
