I think

(A) Smaller and fragmented land holding by the farmers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (B) Reforestation and Afforestation are the problem of agriculture.

Explanation:

• Reforestation refers to the process of planting trees in a forest where there is a decreased number of trees.

• And afforestation refers to the planting of trees or sowing of seeds in an area with no trees before. This is beneficiary in creating a new forest.

• It helps to avoid desertification caused due to the drought and intensive agriculture.

• On the other side, large scale afforestation can decrease the food prices due to the higher competition for land between forest and agriculture.

• It also increases the organic content in the soil. Such a soil development leads to increasing high production of C and N pools under forest stands to agricultural land.

• Generally, afforestation contributes to significant soil acidification which in return when not managed properly, results in local biodiversity reduction.

• Reduction in biodiversity modifies a particular biome, introduces various non-native and potentially invasive species, and reduced streamflow affecting the revenue of agriculture.

Hence option B) Reforestation and Afforestation is correct.
