B. ploughing, levelling, irrigation, sowing, manuring and harvesting
C. ploughing, irrigation, sowing, manuring, harvesting and levelling
D. ploughing, levelling, sowing, manuring irrigation and harvesting

Explanation

To arrange the agricultural practices in the correct order, we need to follow the typical sequence of activities involved in crop production. Here’s the step-by-step solution:

1. **Ploughing (Tilling)**: This is the first step where the soil is prepared for planting. It involves turning the soil to aerate it and make it suitable for sowing seeds.

2. **Leveling**: After ploughing, the soil is leveled to ensure an even surface. This helps in proper irrigation and prevents waterlogging.

3. **Sowing**: Once the soil is prepared and leveled, seeds are sown in the soil. This is the process of planting the seeds.

4. **Manuring**: After sowing, manure or fertilizers are applied to the soil. This provides essential nutrients to the growing plants.

5. **Irrigation**: Following manuring, the crops need water. Irrigation is the process of artificially supplying water to the crops to ensure they grow properly.

6. **Harvesting**: Finally, once the crops have matured, they are harvested. This is the process of gathering the mature crops from the fields.

So, the correct order of agricultural practices is:
1. Ploughing
2. Leveling
3. Sowing
4. Manuring
5. Irrigation
6. Harvesting
