Why is compost used in agriculture?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To increase organic matter in soil

Compost is a natural manure made from decomposed plant and animal residues. It adds organic matter (humus) to soil and improves soil structure, fertility, and water-holding capacity. Option B is incorrect because compost generally increases, rather than reduces, water retention. Exam tip: Remember compost as an organic manure that improves soil fertility.
