Question

Which among the following does not contribute to soil pollution?

• A. Burying of plastics in the soil
• B. Indiscriminate use of fertilizers
• C. Dumping of wastes in soil
• D. Planting of crops in soil

Answer 1

The correct option is D Planting of crops in soil

However, planting trees, no-till farming, crop rotation and such conservative methods do not contribute to soil pollution.
