Which of the following explains the spatial relationship between intensive and extensive commercial agricultural practices using bid-rent theory?
Intensive commercial agricultural practices are located on land that is more fertile than land used for extensive commercial agricultural practices.
Intensive agricultural practices are always based on subsistence, and extensive agri-cultural practices are always based on commercialization.
The global distribution of commercial agricul-tural practices does not show a spatial relation-ship based on bid-rent theory because farmers do not rent out their land.
Intensive commercial agricultural practices are located close to market, where land is expensive, and extensive commercial agricul-tural practices are located a far distance from market, where land is less expensive.
All commercial agricultural practices are based on large expanses of land, and farmers are required to submit bids to the local government to acquire the land nearest the market.
