as preventing soil erosion is merely impossible but with this conservation tillage method ,the field surface covered with crop residue protects the soil from eroding forces.

37) a, c and d are the correct answers first thing is that the cost of production of power from nuclear fuels are very high whereas on the other hand we have cheap and easy power resources available such as wind and solar and people had also shown lack of interests towards nuclear power as they were not comfortable with ever increasing price for thier household electricity requirements so the correct options are a, c and d.
