Correct option is A

The correct answer is: A – Subsoiler and chisel plough are used to break and scatter impermeable soil layers.
Explanation:
Subsoilers and chisel ploughs are tools designed to break up and loosen compacted or impermeable soil layers. These layers can restrict water and root movement, affecting crop growth.
Subsoilers and chisel ploughs help in breaking these layers at greater depths without turning the soil over, thus allowing better root penetration and water infiltration.

  •  Mouldboard plough is used in sandy soil: A mouldboard plough is typically used in clayey or loamy soils. which is the primary function of a mouldboard plough. For sandy soils, lighter implements like disc harrows or cultivators are often preferred.
