C Correct answer
Explanation

Sprinkler system is more useful on an uneven land where sufficient water is not available. Perpendicular pipes, having rotating nozzles on top, are joined to the main pipeline at regular intervals. When water is allowed to flow through the main pipe under pressure with the help of a pump, it escapes from the rotating nozzles. It gets sprinkled on the crop as if it is raining. A sprinkler is very useful for sandy soil.
