Answer 1

The correct option is D Basin irrigation

Basin irrigation is a type of surface irrigation especially in regions with layouts of small fields having level surfaces and surrounded by low bunds which prevent the water from flowing to the adjacent fields. This method is generally suitable for crops that are unaffected by standing water for long periods. for e.g., rice cultivation areas.

Chain pump, pulley system, and persian wheel belongs to the traditional system of irrigation.

So, the correct answer is option D.
