If none of the options provided is correct, then contour bunding is a method of soil conservation used in hilly or sloping areas. It involves constructing contour lines along the natural slope of the land and creating small barriers or bunds to prevent soil erosion and retain water. Contour bunding helps in reducing water runoff, promoting infiltration, and preventing soil erosion on slopes.
