question 10 of 10
why would a farmer plant a food crop in a small garden plot?

a. to feed people in other places
b. for the person who owns the land
c. to make money
d. for the farmers own needs

Explanation:

A small garden plot is typically used for subsistence farming, where the farmer grows crops mainly to meet their own or their immediate household's needs. Option A is incorrect as a small plot isn't for feeding distant people. Option B: If the farmer owns the land, the main use of a small plot is more likely for personal needs than just for the landowner (who may be the farmer). Option C: A small plot is usually not large enough to grow crops primarily for commercial profit; it's more for self - sufficiency. So the farmer would plant a food crop in a small garden plot for their own needs.

Answer:

D. For the farmer's own needs
