Which of the following is an example of a cash crop.
Opium
Corn
Rice
Bananas
Explanation
A "cash crop" is an agricultural crop that is purposely made strictly to be sold in a market environment for as much money as possible. Most cash crops, which include cotton, opium, grains, and many other products, are grown in a monoculture environment, where they are the only product grown on a piece of land. By their nature, cash crops are not a form of subsistence farming, as they are always produced to be used beyond a grower's own home and family. Opium, for instance, is a great example of a cash crop because its purpose is purely recreational/for the profit of the sellers; there is no nutritional value to the crop.

This means suburbs, outer districts of urban areas, have lower population density and higher overall per capita wealth. These factors also lead to better government services and higher quality of local education. Detached single-family housing is a massive draw for population groups with the income to sustain them.
