Explanation
Answer - A - Plantation crops like sugar, bananas, and coffee are examples of export-based agriculture in the Third World.

Key Takeaway: In tropical countries, primarily in the third world, a plantation is a large farm or estate where crops are grown for sale in distant markets, rather than for local consumption, hence, they are export-based agriculture. Crops grown on plantations for export include coffee, bananas, cotton, chocolate, tobacco, sugar cane, and various oil seeds and rubber trees.
