The correct answer is option 3: fallow other than current fallow.
In India, when a cultivable land is left uncultivated for more than a year but less than five years, it is categorized as fallow other than current fallow.
Option 1, cultivable wasteland, refers to land that is not suitable for cultivation due to various reasons such as soil infertility or topographical characteristics. This term is not applicable to land that can be cultivated but is currently left unused for a certain period.
Option 2, current fallow, is not the correct answer as it refers to land that is left uncultivated for one agricultural season or less. It is a shorter duration compared to the land mentioned in the question.
Option 4, barren and wasteland, is also incorrect as it refers to land that is completely unsuitable for cultivation due to factors like lack of vegetation, extreme aridity, or soil degradation. This term does not describe land that can still be used for cultivation but is temporarily left unused.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: fallow other than current fallow.
