Answer 1

The correct option is A Only statement 1 is correct

Winnowing is the process of separating grain and chaff. Generally, farmers with small land holding practice winnowing.
The cutting of a crop after it matures is called harvesting. It is done both manually (sickle) or by machine (harvester). Weeding on the other hand, is the removal of unwanted plants (weeds) that grow along with the main crop.
