Detailed Solution

Concept: Agroforestry and shifting cropping are both used in taungya. In the taungya system, cultivators are granted the privilege to produce crops during the initial phases of establishing forest plantations. 

Crops are continued to be grown until the trees begin to shade the crops. In shifting cultivation, a plot of land is cleared and repeatedly farmed until its fertility is lost.  

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
