c)

Explanation:

Shade coffee is a form of coffee where the coffee plants are grown under a canopy of trees.

Before the 70's, coffee plants were actually cultivated under a set of other trees that provide shade to the coffee plants.

As a result of modernization, coffee plants that are tolerant to the sun started to be used to produce coffee but this practice is environmentally unsustainable. Therefore, over the last years there has been an increase of going back to the origins and shade coffee is an example of this.

Thus, the right answer is c) a practice where the coffee plants are grown under a canopy of trees, more like the way the coffee plants grow naturally.
