Which is an example of adaptation strategy in agriculture?

Correct answer: Changing crop and sowing time according to local weather

The direct answer is A: changing the crop and sowing time according to local weather. Adaptation means adjusting behaviour or methods to changing conditions so that harm is reduced and survival or production is improved. In agriculture, farmers may select a suitable crop, alter sowing dates, conserve water, use a suitable variety or change field practices when rainfall and temperature patterns change. The reasoning is: identify a local weather risk, change the farming decision, and reduce the possible loss. Option A is correct because it is an active response to local climate conditions. Option B, completely ignoring risks, increases vulnerability rather than adapting. Option C, always following one method, may fail when weather changes and shows no adjustment. Option D, not checking weather information, removes useful evidence and can lead to poor timing. Adaptation supports climate resilience, meaning the ability to cope with climate stress. Exam cue: adaptation means flexible adjustment, not denial or rigid repetition.
