Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A
B
C
D

Answer 1

A

Explanation: Crop rotation involves growing different crops in sequence (b) to prevent nutrient depletion (c) and improve soil structure/fertility (d). It does not "turn the soil" — turning is tillage; while certain rotations (deep-rooted crops) can alleviate compaction, rotation itself does not reduce compaction by turning the soil.
