Solution
The correct option is A Soil erosion
Soil erosion is washing away or blowing away the top layer of the soil. Plants in the forests are big and are present near to each other. During rain or wind, forest plants prevent the top layer of soil to be cleared. These plants keep the soil intact within their roots and do not let it to blow or washed away. But when such plants are cleared, nothing stops the wind or water to blow away or wash away the top soil layer. This leads to soil erosion.
