Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D Ploughing up and down the slopes

  • Soil conservation is a method of protecting soil from getting eroded either by wind or by water.
  • Soil erosion is also caused due to defective methods of farming. Ploughing in a wrong way i.e. up and down the slope form channels for the quick flow of water leading to soil erosion.
  • The rest of the methods help in soil conservation.
