Correct Answer: Terracing


Solution : The correct option is Terracing.

Terracing, a land management strategy that involves the development of level or slightly sloping platforms on steep terrain, has numerous significant advantages. By reducing water flow and conserving important topsoil, it effectively reduces soil erosion. These flat or moderately sloping surfaces improve agricultural output on hilly or mountainous terrain, ensuring food security in difficult regions. Terraces also preserve water by enabling it to percolate into the soil, lowering the danger of landslides and contributing to long-term land use and environmental stability.
