Is the answer B

Correct.

Yes, the answer is B) by cutting terraces along steep slopes so they could plant crops. The Inca people adapted to their surrounding physical environment by utilizing a technique called terrace farming. They cut steps or platforms into the steep slopes of the Andes Mountains, creating flat areas for cultivating crops. This method allowed them to make the most efficient use of available arable land and manage the limited fertile soil in the mountains.
