Answer 1

Answer: (D)

It helps in irrigation.

The seed drill is mainly used for sowing the seeds. The seed drill makes holes at a proper distance in the soil and the seeds are dropped in these holes. This helps in avoiding overcrowding between plants for sunlight and nutrients. Seed drill ensures that seeds get covered by the soil after sowing. This prevents birds from picking up the seeds.

So, the correct answer is option C.
