    A Contour plowing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Mulching Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Terracing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Cover cropping Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Tillage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Mulching is the practice of covering the soil surface with a layer of organic or inorganic material, such as straw, leaves, wood chips, or plastic sheets. This layer acts as a protective barrier between the raindrops and the soil, reducing the impact of raindrops and minimizing soil erosion.
