Assam is the plainest state, in the entire North-Eastern state, so there is no Jhum cultivation in Assam, the answer is totally wrong, it could be the right answer if the state of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland were mentioned.

Jhum cultivation is totally abolished by law as it includes sifting cultivation (i.e. Slash & burn cultivation) which leads to deforestation. It is practiced in hilly areas of north-east India.
