Correct Answer: C) Pastoral farming

Explanation

The question is asking about a type of farming that involves raising only livestock. This means that crops are not grown in this type of farming. The options given are Mixed farming, Subsistence farming, Pastoral farming, and Monoculture. Mixed farming involves both crop cultivation and livestock rearing. Subsistence farming is a type of farming in which crops are grown for personal or family consumption, rather than for sale. Monoculture is a type of farming where only one type of crop is grown on a particular land. The correct answer to the question is Pastoral farming. This type of farming involves rearing and breeding of livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, and camels for their products like milk, meat, hides, and skins. In pastoral farming, the grazing land is an essential resource, and it is crucial to ensure that the livestock have enough food and water. This type of farming is usually practiced in areas with low rainfall and unsuitable soil for crop cultivation.
