Best answer
The correct answer is (a) Landside

For explanation I would say: Landside helps to resist the side pressure exerted by the furrow slice on the mouldboard. It also helps in stabilizing the plough while it is in operation. Landside is fastened to the frog with the help of plough bolts. The rear bottom end of the landside is known as heel which rubs against the furrow sole.
