Question 3
Which of the following best explains the significance of similarities between the farming practices for apple orchards and grape vineyards?

Both farming practices require considerable labor input because the fruit is picked by hand, making it a product of intensive agriculture.

Explanation:

"Intensive agriculture" refers to a type of farming method that uses a lot of pesticides and fertilizers in order to increase crop production per acre of land. Although it requires a considerable amount of labor, it only needs lesser amount of land compared to an extensive agriculture.

So, this explains the answer.
