Solution

The correct option is D Stoppage of root respiration
Waterlogging is the saturation of soil with water which excludes air from the groundwater. If waterlogging will be prolonged then air cannot reach up to groundwater and root and it will result in the stoppage of root respiration.
So, the correct answer is 'Stoppage of root respiration'.
