Answer: B

Manure is also known as fertiliser and it is used in agriculture. Animal waste, peels of vegetable and fruits are used to create manure.

Manure increases the fertility of land by giving it organic matters and nutrients to the soil. A small quantity of nutrients and large quantity of organic matter is given to the soil by manures.

Manure increases the humus level in soil which increases the water retention capacity of soil.
