Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: (c) It helps in losing moisture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Despite all the advantages of tilling, it poses one demerit i.e. it makes the top soil loose. Thus, making it prone to erosion by floods or air (if the soil lacks sufficient moisture, it can be eroded by winds also).
Detailed explanation-3: -Tilling is a process that involves pulverising clods of earth and mixing them into the soil. Depending on the crops you want to plant, if the soil is soft and yielding then you can skip the ploughing stage and proceed directly to tilling.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tilling is the practice of aerating the soil to permit moisture and air to permeate, allowing seeds to germinate, encouraging root growth, controlling weed growth, and integrating fertilizers into the soil. One field may be tilled multiple times before planting for different reasons.
Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: ploughing does not prevent soil erosion.
