A)Continuous optimal soil irrigation✓
B)Enhanced rainfall capture efficiency
C)Wind erosion minimization measures
D)Efficient terraced contour plowing
💡 Explanation
Continuous optimal soil irrigation was enabled by chinampa construction, because the water-wicking capillary action drew moisture upward into the root zones. Therefore, proper moisture control, rather than alternative approaches like terracing, helped maximize land utility.
