• C. Both statements 1 and 2 are true.
• D. Both statements 1 and 2 are false.

Hint:

Organic farming → natural inputs + limited off-season production

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1:Analyze Statement 1

• Organic farming avoids synthetic chemicals and artificial conditions
• Hence, producing off-season crops is difficult

\[ \text{Statement 1 is true} \]
Step 2:Analyze Statement 2

• Organic farming uses natural inputs like compost, manure, bio-fertilizers
• These are locally available and cheaper
