Explanation:

1. In the Andes Mountains, coffee growing in cooler, mid - elevation zones is an example of vertical zonation as different crops grow at different altitudes based on climate conditions. Bananas typically grow at lower elevations, tobacco on flat land is not related to vertical zonation in mountains, and slash - and - burn is an agricultural method not an example of vertical zonation.
2. Terracing in highland agriculture is used to create flat surfaces on slopes. This helps prevent soil erosion and allows for crop cultivation on otherwise steep terrain. It has nothing to do with increasing deforestation, growing food specifically for livestock, or only growing tropical crops.
3. Plantation agriculture involves growing one major crop (like coffee, tea, rubber etc.) over a large area for commercial sale. It is not small - scale farming in mountains, growing crops for a family, or collecting wild plants.

Answer:

1. B. Coffee growing in cooler, mid - elevation zones
2. C. To prevent erosion and grow crops on slopes
3. A. Growing one major crop over a large area for sale
