b. reducing diversity of crops
c. using chemical fertilizers heavily
d. combining agriculture with forestry

Explanation:

First Question (Which farming method avoids synthetic inputs entirely?)

• Option a: Urban agriculture on rooftops doesn't specifically imply avoiding synthetic inputs; it's about location, not input type.
• Option b: Conventional farming with chemicals uses synthetic inputs, so it's incorrect.
• Option c: Large - scale industrial farming often uses synthetic inputs like pesticides and fertilizers.
• Option d: Organic farming is defined by using natural methods and avoiding synthetic inputs like synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

• Option a: Agroforestry is more about sustainable land use rather than maximizing short - term profits.
• Option b: Agroforestry typically increases crop diversity by combining trees with crops, so reducing diversity is wrong.
• Option c: Agroforestry emphasizes natural and sustainable practices, not heavy use of chemical fertilizers.
• Option d: The term "agroforestry" is a combination of "agriculture" and "forestry", and its primary focus is combining these two practices.

Answer:

d. Organic farming using natural methods
