Solution

The correct option is B It is helpful in achieving an economical use of water and a highest yield
Advantages of transplanting:

Plant population becomes more assured.
Since nurseries occupy only 1/10 of area of the main crop, the irrigation, control of insects and diseases and other management become easier to reduce the cost of raising seedlings as compared to a broadcast wet crop of the same age. Nurseries raised in advance, enable the crop to be planted in the field at the right time.
The seedlings are grown up at the time of transplanting and they are able to compete with young weeds that spring up. Weed control and other inter-cultural operation are much easier, particularly in row planting.
