Correct option is B
- The correct answer is (B) Hill sides.
- Jhum cultivation, also known as shifting cultivation, is traditionally practiced in the hilly regions of Northeast India, including Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, and parts of Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh.
- This method involves clearing forested land, burning vegetation, and cultivating crops for a few years before moving to a new plot, allowing the previous land to regenerate.
- While it has been a sustainable practice for indigenous communities, concerns about deforestation and soil erosion have led to efforts to regulate and modernize the technique.
