Solution

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.
