Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Polyvarietal cultivation refers to the practice of growing multiple varieties of crops together in a single field. In this case, several varieties of wheat are being grown together, making polyvarietal cultivation the appropriate term. Intercropping involves growing multiple crops in the same field simultaneously, whereas agroforestry involves integrating trees into farming systems. Monoculture refers to the practice of growing a single crop in a given area.
