The correct answer of this question is option (c) terrace cultivation.

Terrace cultivation :-

Terrace cultivation is the method of growing crops on sides of hills, mountains

and steep slopes by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope. Though, the terrace cultivation is labour intensive but this method has been employed effectively to maximize arable land area in variable terrains and to reduce soil erosion and water loss. In most of the systems the terrace is low, flat ridge of earth built across the slope, with a channel for runoff water just above the ridge. Usually, terraces are built on a straight grade so that the water caught in the channel moves slowly toward the terrace outlet. In areas where soils are able to take in water readily and rainfall is relatively low, level terraces may be used.

Answer 2

Answer:

Terrace cultivation method is most appropriate to check soil erosion on step slope.

Additional information :

• Terrace cultivation is the cultivation in which the slopes of the hills are designed in the form of steps to slower the flow of water.
• This also decreases the chances of soil erosion and is mainly done on hilly areas.
