Missing options

A) Drip irrigation

B) Flood irrigation

C) Spray irrigation

D) Furrow irrigation

Answer:

B) Flood irrigation

Step-by-step explanation:

Flood irrigation develops waterlogged fields because the main idea behind flood irrigation is to inundate the agriculture fields. This usually works good unless the soil has high porosity and the level of groundwater is typically below. However, if floodirrigation is being practiced for long time, the water table will rise and results in the flood irrigation. This infleunce the crop yield especially for those crops which need more oxygens in the rhizosphere. Moreover, flood irrigation develops anoxic conditions that are not good for many plants because mostly plants are not able to thrive in waterlogged conditions.
