The correct options are
A deforestation
B mining
Landslides are caused by many factors. One set of factors include natural causes like heavy rainfall and earthquakes. Human activities like mining and construction work also cause vibrations in the soil resulting in landslides.
The roots of trees hold together soil. When trees are removed, this soil becomes loose and the land, in turn, becomes especially prone to landslides.
