B. Grows food and tends livestock to provide for a family.

Subsistence farming involves cultivating crops and raising livestock primarily to meet the basic needs of the farmer's family or household. The primary goal is self-sufficiency in food production rather than commercial profit-making or extensive land use for other purposes like leasing, selling drilling rights or setting up commercial ventures.
