$\Huge\bf\underline{\underline{\blue{Answer}}}$

The process of loosening and turning the soil is called ploughing. Ploughing is also known as tilling.

So, the correct answer is option c). Tilling or Ploughing

Ploughing:-

• The soil is tilled with a plough pulled by animals or driven by a tractor.

• Ploughing loosens the soil and allows easy and deeper penetration of the roots. It improved the circulation of air and retention of water in the soil.

• Implements used for ploughing are wooden plough, hoe and cultivator.

• Plough is a triangular iron strip attached to a long wooden log at the end and to a wooden beam at the other end.

• Hoe is made of a long rod of wooden or iron. A broad and bent iron plate is attached to one end. It works like a blade and also used for tilling and removing weeds.

• Cultivator is the tractor used for ploughing nowadays, which saves time and labour.
