Solution

The correct option is C Soil erosion
Soil erosion is one form of soil degradation. Soil erosion occurs in almost all types of lands. Flowing water, rainwater, and wind are the prime agents which cause a significant amount of soil loss each year. Too much soil erosion causes serious loss of topsoil and also reduces crop production potential, lowers surface water quality and damages drainage networks.
