Solution
The correct option is D Mulching
Mulching is a method used to conserve soil. Organic matter like straw is used to cover the soil and help retain soil moisture. This forms a layer between the soil and the atmosphere reducing evaporation of water from the soil. On top of that, over time the mulch decays and becomes part of the soil, increasing its fertility and organic content.
