Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Ploughing up and down the slopes

• Soil conservation is a method of protecting soil from getting eroded either by wind or by water.
  
• Soil erosion is also caused due to defective methods of farming. Ploughing in a wrong way i.e. up and down the slope form channels for the quick flow of water leading to soil erosion.
  
• The rest of the methods help in soil conservation.
