Correct Answer:
C. Land fed by rain and torrents
The question defines 'unirrigated land' within a land revenue or agricultural context. Land fed by rain and torrents is the correct answer. Unirrigated land, by definition, relies solely on natural sources of water, such as rainfall and natural surface water flows (torrents), for its moisture. It does not benefit from artificial irrigation systems.
- Lands fed by canal and Land with artificial watering both describe irrigated land, as they involve human-engineered water supply systems.
- Desert land only is too restrictive; while desert land is often unirrigated, not all unirrigated land is desert, and the definition focuses on the water source, not the terrain type exclusively.
Understanding land classification based on water sources is key in revenue laws.
