What term describes large-scale production of crops and livestock intended for sale in markets, often using modern technology?

• A. Commercial Agriculture
• B. Agribusiness
• C. PPE
• D. Fertile Crescent

Answer: (A)

Commercial agriculture refers to growing crops and raising livestock on a large scale with the aim of selling the products in markets, often using modern technology to boost efficiency and output. This market orientation and scale—along with the use of machinery, irrigation, high-yield varieties, and inputs like fertilizers and pesticides—are the hallmarks of production intended for sale rather than for personal use.

The other terms don't fit this specific description: one is about a broader system of firms and activities involved in producing, processing, and distributing agricultural goods, not just the farming itself; another is a historical geographic region; and the last is unrelated equipment, not a term for a production approach.
