Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three-field system was literally three fields that would be rotated with crops and one of them would be left empty (fallow). This system allowed for fields to produce more crops in different seasons without becoming depleted of nutrients.

Answer:

Under this system, the arable land of an estate or village was divided into three large fields: one was planted in the autumn with winter wheat or rye; the second field was planted with other crops such as peas, lentils, or beans; and the third was left fallow (unplanted).
