Model Answer

(c) Commercial farming — use of higher doses of modern inputs

Explanation

Commercial farming is characterised by the use of higher doses of modern inputs like HYV seeds, fertilisers, pesticides and machinery to obtain higher productivity. The other options are incorrect: primitive subsistence farming is on small patches; intensive subsistence is multi-crop; plantation farming is on large estates.
