Solution

The correct option is C Hilly areas
  • In agriculture, a terrace is a piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms, which resemble steps, for the purposes of more effective farming. This type of landscaping is therefore called terracing.
  • Terracing reduces both the amount and velocity of water moving across the soil surface in hilly areas, which greatly reduces soil erosion.
  • Hence Terracing helps in soil conservation in hilly areas.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Hilly areas'.
