Solution

The correct option is B False
The roots of trees firmly hold the topmost layer of the soil. They do not allow natural forces like wind, water, etc., to carry away the top most fertile layer of the soil easily. Afforestation refers to the planting of trees in an area, which will prevent soil erosion.
