AMasole

BLadang

CRay

DMilpa

Answer:

C. Ray

Read Explanation:

  • Correct Answer Option C) Ray

  • Slash and burn agriculture, also known as shifting cultivation, is a traditional farming method practiced in various parts of the world where farmers clear forest land by cutting down trees and burning the vegetation to create fertile soil for cultivation.

  • In Vietnam, this practice is called "Ray" (also spelled as "Rây"). This traditional agricultural system involves clearing small patches of forest, burning the vegetation to enrich the soil with ash, and then cultivating crops for a few years before moving to a new area and allowing the previous plot to regenerate naturally.

  • The other options represent slash and burn agriculture practices from different regions:

  • Masole: This term is not commonly associated with slash and burn agriculture

  • Ladang: This is the term used in Malaysia and Indonesia for shifting cultivation

  • Milpa: This is the term used in Central America and Mexico for this type of agriculture

  • Ray is specifically the Vietnamese term for this traditional farming practice, making it the correct answer for slash and burn agriculture in Vietnam.
