Complete Answer:
In our country, Agriculture is an old economic activity. Cultivation methods have changed significantly over these years, depending upon the characteristics of the physical environment, socio-cultural practices, and technological know-how. There are many types of farming: primitive subsistence farming, intensive subsistence farming, and commercial farming.
Commercial farming uses more modern inputs such as the High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds. These are used to increase productivity. The degree of commercialization varies from one region to another. For example, in Odisha, rice is a subsistence crop, whereas, in Punjab and Haryana it is a commercial crop. The plantation is also a type of commercial farming, in this type of farming, on a large area, a single crop is grown. This type of farming is an interface of agriculture and industry. Plantation uses capital intensive inputs, covers large tracts of land, with the help of migrant laborers. Sugarcane, tea, banana, coffee, rubber, etc. are important plantation crops in India. Since the production is mainly for the market, a well- developed network of transportation and communication connecting the plantation areas, processing industries, and the market is necessarily needed in the development of plantations.

Thus, option (A) is correct.
