Detailed Solution

Soil can be conserved best on the hill by contour farming.
In contour farming, contour bunding, or contour furrowing, the grooves formed by the furrow run counterclockwise rather than in line with the inclines, typically resulting in wrinkles that bend around the land and are level. This method is often referred to as tillage erosion. The process of tilling a specific piece of land to promote soil development and erosion is known as tillage. Contour bunding, which involves placing stones around the inclines' contours, is a similar technique.
Hence, 3 is the correct option.
