पर्याय

• (B) contradicts (А).

• (B) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(B) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

Due to generational land division and high population density, Indian agricultural plots have become extremely small and fragmented. For low-income farmers, operating heavy machinery on these small areas is both physically and financially unsustainable. As a result, farmers' continued reliance on manual labour and small-scale tools is directly explained by their low per capita landholding.
