Solution

The correct option is C
Prevention of weathering of rocks

Manure is organic matter, mostly derived from animal faeces except green manure, which can be used as organic fertilizer in agriculture. Manure is not related to the prevention of weathering of rocks. It is used to increase the fertility of the soil.
