Answer 1

c. they are sold as cash crops

Step-by-step explanation:

Cover crops are just used to cover the soil and sometimes other crops, they don't get sold on the market like corn and wheat do.

Answer 2

Correct answer: C). They are sold as cash crops

A cover crop is a crop that is planted in order to manage soil fertility, soil erosion, soil quality, weeds, pests and diseases in an agricultural ecosystem.

These are an off-season crop, which is planted after the harvest of the cash crop. They will grow into the winter season and may be terminated in the spring season. They do not interfere with the planting of the cash crop.

Hence, the correct answer would be option C.
