Solution

The correct option is A A and B

Ploughing along contour line is a farming practice of ploughing across a slope following its elevation. These contour lines create a water break which reduces the formation of rills and gullies during times of heavy water run-off which is a major cause of soil erosion.

Strip cropping is a form of cultivation in which different crops are sown in alternate strips to prevent soil erosion.
