Which concept means concentrating on producing one type of output to increase productivity?

• A. Monoculture
• B. Specialisation
• C. Output
• D. Cash Crop

Answer: (B)

Specialisation is about concentrating resources on producing one type of output to gain efficiency. When a farm, region, or economy focuses on a single product, skills, routines, and equipment become highly specialized, which helps cut costs, speed up production, and improve yields per unit of input. In farming this shows as dedicating effort to a particular crop or product to maximize output and profitability. Monoculture is related as a farming practice of growing one crop, but the broader idea being tested is the economic concept of specialising to boost productivity. Output is just the total produced, not the strategy, and cash crop refers to a crop grown for sale rather than the general idea of concentrating production.
