Answer 2

The windbreaks are planting methods that protect topsoil from wind erosion.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is correct because the windbreaks are basically planted rows of trees or shrubs with the main purpose to minimize the effect of the wind and protect the topsoil from erosion.

B is not correct because the windbreaks can not function as barriers in total, but are plantations for minimizing the wind effect.

C is not correct because the windbreaks are not devices of any sort.

D is not correct because while they can partially prevent the influence of the wind, they can not really do much when it comes to the effect of the rainwater.
