The correct answer is: D.By promoting practices that maintain soil health, reduce water usage, minimize chemical inputs, and protect biodiversity.

Sustainable agriculture focuses on maintaining the health of natural resources for long-term use. Here’s how it helps conserve resources:

1.Maintaining soil health: Techniques like crop rotation, cover cropping, and reduced tillage help prevent soil erosion, improve fertility, and enhance water retention, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.

2.Reducing water usage: Efficient irrigation practices like drip irrigation and selecting drought-tolerant crops help conserve water, which is a crucial resource, especially in areas prone to drought.
