Consider the below statements:

1. Paddy cultivation requires leveled fields.

2. Highly rarified air, low-pressure and low-temperature at high altitudes makes it conducive in keeping dairy cattle.

3. Orchards of coconut are found at low altitudes, preferably closer to the sea level.

4. Tea plantations perform well in the undulating topography.

Explanation:

The agricultural patterns are strictly dependent on the geo-ecological conditions; terrain,topography, slope and altitude.While paddy cultivation requires leveled fields, tea plantations perform well in the undulating topography in which water does not remain standing.Orchards of coconut are found at low altitudes, preferably closer to the sea level, while the apple orchards in the tropical and sub-tropical conditions perform well above 1500 metres above sea level. Moreover, cultivation of crops is rarely done 3500 m above sea-level in the tropical and sub-tropical latitudes. The highly rarified air, low-pressure, low-temperature and shortage of oxygen at high altitudes are the serious impediments not only in the cultivation of crops, but also in keeping dairy cattle. Hence, statement (2) is wrong.
