Solution

The correct option is B Sprinkler
Drip irrigation provides water to plants drop by drop near the roots. There is no wastage of water. It is a boon in regions where there is water scarcity. The other methods like canal system, sprinklers and hand pump are all effective for irrigation but they do not reduce water wastage.
