Use the following information to answer the next question.

A.  It promotes the growth of useful microbes in soil
B) It brings nutrients to the top layer of soil
C) It reduces the population of pests in soil
D) It helps in aerating the soil 
 

Dear student, 
Please find below the solution to the asked query        

Ploughing is used as a way to eradicate pests ​during rainy season or summers only. Rest all the uses given in the question are advantages of ploughing in all the seasons. 
Hence, option (C) is more appropriate out of all the options.
