• A. Drip irrigation system
• B. Sprinkler irrigation system
• C. Tube well irrigation system
• D. Canal irrigation system

Answer 1

The correct option is C Tube well irrigation system

Wells are of two types namely open wells and tube wells. Out of these two, tube well irrigation has become widespread in India. A tube well is a water well consisting of a long tube bored into the ground and sunk to the depth of the water table. Tube wells are fast and easy to install, making them particularly popular in developing nations where the infrastructure for larger and more involved well designs is not in place.
