Explanation:

Slash - and - burn involves cutting and burning vegetation. The ash from burning contains nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When these nutrients are added to the soil, it becomes more fertile, which is beneficial for farming. The other options are incorrect: destroying harmful plants and invasive species is not the main reason for its popularity (and it also harms native ecosystems), and it has no direct relation to preventing animal overpopulation.

Answer:

A. This technique helps enrich the soil for farming.
