Solution
The correct option is C Drip system
In drip irrigation, each plant is supplied with a small pipe which provides a continuous supply of water droplets.
Using this method the right amount of water can be supplied to the plants reducing the wastage of water. Therefore, drip irrigation is usually used in water scarce places.
