Answer 1

Answer:

D) is a development of industrial agriculture

Explanation:

Monoculture farming is a kind of agricultural practice where a single crop, livestock breed are produced on a farm at a time. Unlike polyculture  farming that involves the production of more than one crop, livestock breed on a farm at a time.

Monoculture farming is majorly used in industrial farming and this gives room for each crop to follow the same pattern planting, care and harvesting. This could also result to increased crop yields and lower costs compared to polyculture farming, but risks soil depletion and exposure to crop diseases and pests.
