What are the areas of land that supply vegetation for grazing (grass-eating) ad browsing (shrub-eating) animals, but are not managed?
  1. National forests
  2. Plantations
  3. Rangelands
  4. Family farms
Explanation
Answer: C - The areas of land that supply vegetation for grass and shrub-eating animals, but are not managed, are called rangelands.

Key Takeaway: Rangelands are extremely important land for livestock and wildlife survival, supplying land for vegetation for grass- and shrub-eating animals. In the United States, about 25 percent of the land is rangelands, most of it privately-owned. Rangelands for foraging can include shrub-lands, grasslands, prairies, lands along streams and rivers, open woodlands, desert scrub, and arctic tundra. Many of these lands are in danger of overgrazing.
