Solution

The correct option is C Gully erosion
  • The running water through the clayey soils makes deep channels known as gullies.
  • Ravines are narrow and deep valleys along with steep sides which make land unfit for cultivation. This deteriorated land is called badland.
  • Ravines are mostly found in the Chambal valley of India. Thus, ravine is a common term used in Chambal valley for gully erosion.

Hence, the correct answer is option B, i.e., Gully erosion.
