The correct answer is (b) Ploughing

To explain I would say: Tillage is the technical term used for soil preparation to ensure ideal conditions for seed germination and growth of crops. It involves ploughing or dig-up, mix and overturning of the soil, followed by breaking the soil into small mass and then levelling the field.
