Subsistence farming is farming to feed your family. Growing everything that you need to survive on your land. Excess food can be traded for some of the things that you need that you can't grow.
Commercial farming is farming where your produce is sold. Most farming in the US is commercial farming. It can be from the small family farms to the large producers they are all commercial farms.
Specialized agriculture is when you specialize in a certain type of product. Examples are raising Christmas trees, mushrooms, and products such as these. Organic farming can be specialized farming as well. Specialized agriculture is also commercial agriculture, but with a specialized market.

I think that you mean subsistence agriculture which means making a living and feeding your family on the products raised on your farm. There is just enough to support the family and generally not enough extra to sell. Commercial farming means simply raising farm products to sell commercially. The farm doesn't have to be large or and use a lot of inputs, though many commercial farms are large today. Specialized agriculture is growing a specific specialized product, such as Christmas trees or mushrooms, Raising organic foods is another type of specialized farming. Specialized farming is usually commercial agriculture as well.

If you look up the definition of each of the words, you can figure it out.
Subsistence - means to get by, to simply survive. So subsistence agriculture is growing just what you need to live.
Commercial - means to produce for sale to manufacturers or consumers. An example of commercial agriculture is growing vegetables to sell to Campbells Soups or Green Giant for them to package and sell to consumers.
Specialized - means growing and cultivating specific products that may require specialized techniques or nutrients. One example would be rice (its not grown in a field like other grains).
