A) Prevent Soil Erosion

This would be the answer since, strip cropping is a method of farming which involves cultivating a field partitioned into long, narrow strips which are alternated in a crop rotation system. It is used when a slope is too steep or when there is no alternative method of preventing soil erosion. ... The forages serve primarily as cover crops.
