C. < 9%

D. < 16%

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Agronomic measures reduce the impact of raindrops through the covering of the soil surface and increase the infiltration rate and water absorption capacity of the soil which results in reduced runoff and soil loss through erosion.
Agronomic measures of soil conservation are applicable up to a slope of ≤ 2%.
