Correct answer: A
Solution
The cultivation starts around September when the fields are ploughed.
Bunts are made and fumigation is done, after which the fields are covered with plastics to prevent weed growth and erosion.
Cow dung manure is added, and fields are sprayed.
Then seedlings are planted through holes punched in plastic sheets.
Why this order?
Ploughing is the first step because it prepares the field for all subsequent activities.
Making bunds, fumigation and covering with plastic are preparatory measures to shape the field, control pests and prevent weed growth and erosion before fertilising and planting.
Adding cow dung manure and spraying conditions the soil and protects it before the final step of planting.
Planting seedlings through holes in the plastic sheets must come last, after the field has been prepared and protected.
Therefore, the correct sequence of the sentences is: The cultivation starts around September when the fields are ploughed; bunts are made and fumigation is done, after which the fields are covered with plastics to prevent weed growth and erosion; cow dung manure is added and fields are sprayed; then seedlings are planted through holes punched in plastic sheets.
