Solution

The correct option is A

True


A fallow field is a land that a farmer ploughs but does not cultivate for one or more seasons to allow the field to regain its fertility naturally. They allow animals such as sheep, goats to graze. Their droppings will enrich the soil.

This practice of leaving fields fallow, dates back to ancient times when farmers realised that using soil continuously depleted its nutrients.
