    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The main advantage of transplantation method in rice cultivation is that it is helpful in achieving an economical use of water and a higher yield of grain. Transplanting is a traditional method which provides a high and stable yield but it is laborious and expensive. Due to industrialization and urbanization in recent years, the shortage of labor in agriculture has aggravated the situation, resulting in an increase in labor costs in agriculture, which in turn threatens the sustainability of the traditional rice-planting system that requires large amounts of labor.
