b.

Shelterwood cutting is a series of harvests over several years (preparatory, seed, and removal) to establish regeneration under a partial canopy. Seed-tree (seed-cutting) leaves a few well‑distributed trees to supply seed and is usually done in a single main cut (with possible later removal of the seed trees).
