Make a table(Sorry if the table looks distorted!)

US Soviet

Planted 100 68

Total 100 114
(agri+fallow)

So, what we see,

as compared when fallow is considered, the value of US dips, this means it has more fallow land than soviet.

B=> wrong because comparison has to be between A and B.

C=> We are talking in terms of % and not total area

D=> same as B

E=> who cares about the volume :D

Hope this helps

yield/fallow can be lessened either by decreasing yield or by increasing fallow area.

Hence A.

Boy, it knocked off 7 minutes :o)

I should start giving up in 2 minutes!!!
