Explanation

Shifting cultivation, a traditional form of subsistence agriculture, is known by various regional names across the globe. Milpa is the term used in Mexico and Central America [4]. Ladang is the local name for this practice in Malaysia and Indonesia [3]. In South America, specifically Brazil, shifting cultivation is referred to as Roca (or Roça). Masole is the term used in Central Africa, particularly in the Congo Basin and the Zaire River Valley [2]. Matching these pairs: A (Milpa) corresponds to 4 (Mexico), B (Ladang) to 3 (Malaysia), C (Rocca) to 2 (Brazil), and D (Masole) to 1 (Zaire). This sequence (4, 3, 2, 1) aligns with Option 1. This agricultural system involves clearing forest plots through slash-and-burn techniques and rotating fields to maintain soil fertility [4].
