Which pairs are correctly matched in the context of Von Thünen’s agricultural location theory?
(A) Zone I - Market gardening and milk production (B) Zone II - Firewood and lumbering production (C) Zone IV - Three-field system (D) Zone VI - Only storing grain crops (wheat, rye, etc.)
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Correct option is C

Pairs a and b are correctly matched according to Von Thünen’s agricultural location theory.
· Zone I represents areas close to the market where market gardening and milk production are concentrated due to the perishability of products and high transport costs.
· Zone II is characterized by firewood and lumbering production, as these are bulky goods that are expensive to transport over long distances.
Information booster
Von Thünen’s model is based on the cost of transportation and land use intensity.
The model assumes an isolated state with a central market.
The concentric zones of Von Thunen’s model are: 1. Zone I Market gardening and milk production 2. Zone II Firewood and timber production 3. Zone III Crop farming without fallow 4. Zone IV Crop framing, fallow and pastures 5. Zone V Three field system 6. Zone VI Livestock framing
