Which term refers to land suitable for growing crops?

• A. Pastoral (Farming)
• B. Fallow Land
• C. Arable Land
• D. Subsistence Farming

Answer: (C)

Arable land is land suitable for growing crops. This type of land has soil and conditions—such as fertility, drainage, and climate—that support crop production, allowing crops to be planted and harvested regularly. It distinguishes from land used mainly for grazing animals, which is pastoral or pasture land. It also differs from fallow land, which is land kept out of production to recover fertility, and from subsistence farming, which describes the scale or purpose of farming rather than the land’s suitability for crops. So land that can be used to grow crops is arable land.
