Solution

The correct option is C Field fallow
The farm land is ploughed and then not used for the cultivation of the crops for some time. This helps in the land to gain the fertility again and the method is known as field fallow. This provides the land some time to replenish its nutrients so that the next round of crops can grow properly.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
