Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(बिना जोती हुई जंगली भूमि)
गुप्तकालीन भूमि वर्गीकरण में 'अप्रहत' (Aprahata) उस बंजर या जंगली भूमि को कहा जाता था जिसे पहले कभी जोता न गया हो (बिना जोती हुई परती/जंगली भूमि)। खेती योग्य भूमि को 'क्षेत्र', निवास योग्य भूमि को 'वास्तु' और चारागाह भूमि को 'खिल' या 'गोचर' कहा जाता था।
In Gupta land nomenclature, 'Aprahata' denoted virgin wasteland or uncultivated forest tracts that had never been tilled by a plough. Arable cultivated land was classified as 'Kshetra', residential homestead land as 'Vastu', and fallow or waste pasture as 'Khila'.
