Solution

The correct option is B Moisture conservation
Mulch is a protective layer of a material layered on top of the soil. Mulch can be made of organic materials such as grass, straw, bark, etc. They can also be inorganic such as stones, brick pieces, and plastic. Mulching prevents water evaporation from soil hence leading to moisture conservation.
