Solution

The correct option is D Terrace farming
Terrace farming is the practice of cutting up the slopes into flat areas in hilly or mountainous regions. Terrace farming helps in soil conservation. The slope of the mountains usually erode the fertile soil, when it flows down the slope due to external factors like rain. The flat areas that are created during terrace farming help prevent this phenomenon.
