Answer 1

The correct option is A Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

• Waterlogging draws salt to the surface of the soil. The salt then is deposited as a thin crust on the land surface or starts collecting at the roots of the plants.
• Improving drainage from the inundated paddock can decrease the water-logging period at which the crop roots are subjected to anaerobic conditions.

So, the correct option is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct'.
