Hint:
The practice of plowing on sloping land along lines of constant elevation to conserve rainwater and reduce soil loss through surface erosion.
The correct answer is: Contour Farming
- Contour farming increases the rate of infiltration.
- Contour farming not only minimizes erosion but also reduces runoff.
- It also increases water penetration and retention, thereby improving soil quality and composition.
- So, the correct option is a.
