Solution

The correct option is A Use of semi dwarf variety of rice

As per the condition explained above it is a case in which loss of crop is due to its tall height. These crops get uprooted whenever strong wind prevails in the area. It is highly recommended that semi-dwarf, high yielding varieties of paddy need to be used for cultivation.

Use of fertilizers and pesticides can improve the quality of soil and protect the plants from infestation of pests respectively. Crop rotation is the phenomenon of changing the crop of cultivation in every season as it helps in restoration of soil quality and employment of modern irrigation systems can help in utilizing the water for irrigation more efficiently.
