Solution

The correct option is A Practicing monocropping
Monocropping is the method in which the same crop is planted on the same land every year. The plants become weak in progeny every following year. and this increases the buildup of diseases. The quality of the soil deteriorates due to the continuous cultivation of the crops. The nutrients are not replenished and the pests destroy the crops as the same crop is grown.
Thus the correct answer is option C.
