Detailed Solution

The correct option is 4th, as technology is not the characteristic of primitive subsistence farming.
Primitive subsistence farming is a cultivation practice by farmers on small patches of land. They use traditional and primitive tools. They do not use modern or advanced technology or tools. They employ naturally available resources and depend on monsoons for water. Monsoons have become unpredictable, which is the main reason why primitive farming tends to result in losses. It is impractical to use massive equipment for small portions of land, which is the reason why modern pieces of equipment are not employed in primitive subsistence farming. It is also uneconomical. Thus, technology cannot be considered a characteristic of this type of farming.
