Answer: B
Coppicing and pollarding are forms of heading back: the main stem or branches are cut back hard to make the tree send out new shoots. Coppicing cuts at ground level and pollarding cuts at a height above the reach of browsing animals.
Thinning removes whole branches, deblossoming removes flowers, and ringing removes a ring of bark.
Coppicing cuts a tree back to near ground level, and pollarding cuts back to the trunk at a height, in both cases leaving a basal portion from which new shoots arise. This matches heading back, which is the removal of the terminal portion of a shoot or branch.
