General KnowledgeIndian Economy

- BIt is growing of two or more crops in random mixture.
- CIt is growing of two or more crops in definite row patterns.
- DIt is growing of different crops on a piece of land in a pre-planned succession.
Explanation
Inter-cropping is the practice of growing two or more crops simultaneously on the same field in a definite row pattern (e.g., alternating rows of maize and legumes). Mixed cropping has no row arrangement, crop rotation is sequential in time, and organic farming is a method, not a cropping pattern. Hence inter-cropping.
