Answer
D.

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Crop rotation is the process of growing different crops one by one in one agricultural year. This technique helps in the maintenance of soil fertility as it aids in adding nutrients to the soil.
Pulses are leguminous crops that add nitrogen to the soil, which can then be used by the next crop grown on that field.
