The correct option is B conservation of water
∙ Drought is the condition when there is no rainfall for a very long time, sometimes months or even years in a region.
∙ Droughts can be prevented by construction of dams and reservoirs, wells, good agricultural practices and conservation of water by various other methods.
∙ Planting trees also helps in preventing droughts as the roos of the trees hold the soil firmly.
∙ Laying roads, rearing of animals and deforestation are not methods of water conservation and they contribute to drought to an extent.
