Model Answer

(C) Strip cropping — Large fields are divided into strips with grass grown between crops to break the force of wind.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "Large fields can be divided into strips. Strips of grass are left to grow between the crops. This breaks up the force of the wind. This method is known as strip cropping." Don't confuse it with shelter belt planting, which involves planting rows of trees (not grass strips between crops) to reduce wind force.
