Which agricultural outcome primarily resulted from Pre-Columbian terracing in the Andes?

💡 Explanation

When mountain slopes were terraced, stepped flat areas were created because of soil retention and minimized slope increasing infiltration, improving both irrigation and cultivatable area. Therefore, improved water management results, rather than greater erosion, blight resistance, or biodiversity loss which occur under different conditions.
