Solution

The correct option is C Only statement-3 is incorrect
Manure helps in enriching the soil with organic matter, while fertilizers are only required in small amounts as they are rich in nutrients but can degrade the soil organic contents. Continuous use of fertilizers decreases the soil fertility as the chemicals present in the fertilizers affect the organic matter present in the soil, which is harmful for the soil.
