Solution

The correct options are
B Genetic engineering
C Hybridisation
Intercropping is the method in which two or more crops are grown simultaneously in distinct rows. This minimises losses to farmers in case one crop fails.
Hybridisation is the process of crossing different varieties or species of organisms to create a hybrid with desired characteristics.
In genetic engineering, the crop is improved by introducing a gene that would provide desired characteristics.
Whereas crop rotation helps to maintain the fertility of the soil.
