Question

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Only focuses on aquaculture with fish tanks, not combining with hydroponics.
• Option b: Traditional farming with soil is unrelated to aquaculture and hydroponics.
• Option c: Aquaponics is defined as the combination of aquaculture (raising aquatic animals like fish) and hydroponics (growing plants in water without soil), so this matches the description.
• Option d: Hydroponic gardening indoors is just about hydroponics, not combining with aquaculture.
