Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Ploughing is the method which helps in the loosening of the soil to aerate the soil. It allows space for the penetration of the roots of the crop plants. The aeration helps the plants to respire properly and there is the eradication of the weeds. This movement of the soil helps in the growth of the beneficial soil bacteria.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
