Given below are the activities performed while cultivating a crop, arrange them from first to last: (A) Ploughing (B) Thinning (C) Seeding (D) Harvesting
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) (A), (C), (B), (D)

Explanation:
• (A) Ploughing: This is part of primary tillage used to break and loosen the soil before any planting can occur.
• (C) Seeding: Once the seedbed is prepared through ploughing and harrowing, seeds are sown into the soil.
• (B) Thinning: After the seeds germinate and seedlings emerge, 'thinning' is done to remove excess plants to ensure proper spacing and reduce competition for resources.
• (D) Harvesting: The final stage where the mature crop is gathered from the field.

Information Booster:
• Tillage: Physical manipulation of soil.
• Gap Filling: Sowing seeds in spots where germination failed, usually done alongside thinning.
• Winnowing: A post-harvest activity to separate grain from chaff.

Additional Knowledge:
• Sequence B is the only logical chronological order. You cannot thin a crop before seeding it, and you cannot harvest it before it grows.
