Solution

The correct option is D strip cropping
  • Crops are grown in alternate strips of land to check the impact of the winds.
  • It is used when a slope is too steep or when there is no alternative method of preventing soil erosion.
  • Strip cropping helps to stop soil erosion by creating natural dams for water, helping to preserve the strength of the soil.
