Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Cropping pattern refers to the yearly sequence and spatial arrangement of crops on a given area, specifically the proportion of land under different crops.
Explanation:
Agricultural land is being converted for urban expansion, industrial areas, and infrastructure projects, leading to a decline in net sown area.
Explanation:
