Solution

The correct option is C Soil erosion
Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process, that affects all landforms. It refers to the wearing away of topsoil by the physical force of water. Since deforestation removes trees, the soil particles become detached, meaning more rainwater can get in and cause landslides and flooding.
