Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
A windbreak is a line or group of trees and shrubs planted to reduce wind speed and protect soil, crops, and livestock from wind damage. Windbreaks help prevent soil erosion, reduce evaporation of soil moisture, and can also provide habitat for wildlife. This practice is especially beneficial in open, flat agricultural areas where wind can cause significant soil degradation.
