The cover crop field would be less susceptible to soil erosion because the plants help to retain the soil in place, while the bare field would experience more soil erosion due to the lack of soil-retaining effects. The other options are not necessarily accurate, as the presence or absence of weeds and use of water by plants can vary depending on the type of cover crop used and the specific farming practices employed. The amount of soil would also not necessarily be the same between the two fields.
