**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Irrigation Systems**: Begin by understanding the two types of irrigation systems: drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation. Drip irrigation involves a network of pipes that deliver water directly to the roots of plants, while sprinkler irrigation uses a system of pipes and pumps to spray water over the plants. 2. **Analyzing Drip Irrigation**: Drip irrigation is designed to minimize water wastage. Water is delivered directly to the base of the plants through a series of tubes, which reduces evaporation and runoff. This method is particularly effective for fruit plants as it ensures that the roots receive adequate moisture without over-saturating the soil. 3. **Analyzing Sprinkler Irrigation**: Sprinkler irrigation, on the other hand, sprays water over a wide area, which can lead to water loss through evaporation and wind drift. While it can cover larger areas, it may not be as efficient for watering fruit plants that require precise moisture levels at the root zone. ...
