Solution

The correct option is B Dry stonewalling
One of the best method for conserving soil is terracing. Terracing gives the landmass a stepped appearance, thus prevents the rapid surface runoff of water. Dry stonewalling is a method used to create terraces in which stone structures are created without using mortar for binding.
