The correct option is B False

Deforestation:

  1. Deforestation is the clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stands of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use.
  2. The less the soil is covered with vegetation, mulches, crop residues, etc., the more the soil is exposed to the impact of raindrops, which causes soil erosion.
