Solution

The correct option is B artificial
The artificial supply of water for the purpose of agriculture is called irrigation. Agriculture in India mainly depends on the monsoon rains but the rains in India are unevenly distributed. Also, crops like rice and sugarcane require large and regular amounts of water. So, it is necessary to expand irrigation to ensure the development of the agricultural sector in India.
