The answer to the question is c. polders. In the Netherlands, people have been using an engineering technique called "poldering" for centuries to reclaim land from the sea. They build dikes or embankments to enclose an area of land that is below sea level, then they pump out the water to create a polder. Polders are low-lying areas of land that have been reclaimed from bodies of water, such as the sea or lakes. They are often used for agriculture or residential areas. The process of creating polders has played a crucial role in the development of the Netherlands and its ability to manage and control water levels in a country that has a significant part below sea level.
