Answer 2

Measures for soil conservation are -

• Contour ploughing -contour are imaginary lines joining places having equal heights.it is done following the natural contour of the hill.
• Terrace farming -hill slopes may be cut into series of step like terraces with sufficient level ground on each terrace for cultivation.
• Strip cropping- crops maybe cultivated in alternate strips parallel to each other. different strips growing different kinds of crop will produce at different time of the year. the entire land will never lie exposed to agents of erosion. thus, soil erosion is prevented.
• Afforestation - is a method of planting trees in fallow land and waste lands for increasing forested areas.

hence,the correct answer is (b)Measures for soil conservation
