Terrace cultivation is a farming method used on hill slopes, where land is cut into step-like terraces to reduce water runoff and prevent soil erosion. This method slows down the flow of water, allowing it to absorb into the soil rather than washing it away. Other Options Explained: (A) Afforestation – Helps prevent erosion by planting trees, but not as effective for steep slopes. (C) Strip cropping – Used in flat or gently sloping lands, not ideal for steep hills. (D) Contour ploughing – Helps on gentle slopes, but terracing is more effective on steep hills. Thus, the correct answer is (B) Terrace cultivation.
