Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Seed dropping behind the plough

To explain I would say: Seed dropping behind the plough is very common method used in villages. It is used for seed like maize, gram, peas, wheat and barley. A man drops seeds in the furrow behind the plough. Sowing behind the plough can be done by a device known as Malobansa.
