Answer 1

The correct option is A X: Sprinkler system

Y: Broad-bed furrow
$\bullet$ Sprinkler system is an irrigation technique in which water is added to the farmland through pipes with spray heads, as shown below.


$\bullet$ Broad-bed furrow is an irrigation technique in which farmers dig out furrows in between crop rows. These furrows carry water to the crops as shown below.


$\bullet$ Drip irrigation is an irrigation technique in which the plants are watered by using narrow tubings. These tubes deliver water to the plant directly to the root of the plant. This reduces the wastage of water.
