Solution

The correct option is B terrace farming
Reducing the speed of running water along slopes and allowing water to percolate down into the soil prevents soil erosion. One way of doing this is to construct broad, flat steps along steep slopes. This method called terrace farming is widely adopted in the hilly states of Uttarakhand.
