History

Which crop productivity risk arose for Incan terrace farms when intensive irrigation leached soil?

A)Loss of structural terrace integrity
B)Introduction of invasive plant species
C)Selective macronutrient depletion develops
D)Increased susceptibility to late frosts

💡 Explanation

Incan irrigation systems often overwatered terraces, causing selective macronutrient depletion because the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium wash out, resulting in specific fertility loss rather than terrace failure; hence, 'C' is correct.
