Solution

The correct option is A Crop rotation
The crop rotation is a pattern of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area in the sequential season. It is a method of replenishment of nutrients. For example, the harvesting of wheat is followed by the sowing of beans. Beans are leguminous plants and therefore, contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules. Growing beans will replenish the soil with nitrogen.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
