Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

By irrigating the land properly

Only 38% of the total land area is used for cultivation in Tamil Nadu. It is very important to increase the cultivable land to ensure farmers' growth. Cultivable land is the area of land that is fertile. Therefore, proper fertilisers and irrigation are necessary to make the land fertile.
