Solution

The correct option is A Afforestation
Groundwater is an important resource that meets people's water requirements. Groundwater depletion is mainly due to ongoing groundwater abstraction and deforestation. Afforestation is sowing seeds and planting trees in areas with less or no trees. It helps in controlling soil erosion and increasing moisture in the soil which in turn increases groundwater level.
Therefore the correct answer is option A.
