Solution
The correct option is B Hilly areas
Terrace farming is the practice of cutting flat areas out of a hilly or mountainous landscape in order to grow crops. The major benefit, of course, is the conservation of soil and water. Terraces reduce both the amount and velocity of water moving across the soil surface, which greatly reduces soil erosion.
