A. Mountain slopes
B. Plain
C. Coastal plain
D. River valleys

Answer 1

Hint: Tea is an aromatic beverage made by steeping cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to China and East Asia, in hot or boiling water. Coffee is a brewed beverage made from roasted coffee beans and the seeds of certain Coffea species' berries.

Complete answer:
Plantation agriculture is classified as commercial agriculture. Commercial farming primarily focuses on commercial crops that yield a high-profit margin and can be grown throughout the year. Plantation agriculture is a type of commercial agriculture in which a single crop is grown throughout the year. This type of farming necessitates a lot of labor and money.

Crops may be further processed on the farm where they are grown, or in nearby factories or small scale industries. Such farming necessitates the development of a transportation network, which is why one is built.
1. Tea, coffee, sugarcane, cashew, rubber, banana, and cotton are some of the most common crops grown on plantations.
2. The world's major plantations are found in tropical areas.
3. Rubber is grown in Malaysia, coffee is grown in Brazil, and tea is grown in India and Sri Lanka.

Tea and coffee plants require evenly distributed rainfall with no water logging issues. The hill slopes help to prevent waterlogging by allowing rainwater to drain easily. Tea and coffee plantations thrive in the loamy soil found in abundance on the hillside slopes. Deep, well-drained triable loamy soils are ideal for tea and coffee plantations. Fertile volcanic red earth or deep sandy loam is ideal for coffee.

Thus, the answer is option A: Mountain slopes.

Note:
Soil can be washed or blown away more easily on steep slopes. This means that, rather than forming a thick layer of topsoil over time, topsoil on steep slopes erodes faster than new soil can form. These deposits flow down the mountain, accumulating and remaining in flatter, more level areas.
