Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Deserts are arid patches of land.

Deserts are arid patches of land but it does not explain the correct explanation for desertification.

Desertification can be caused by the subsequent meeting of barren patches of land, due to increased urbanisation and inappropriate practices on the agricultural field such as Slash and burn method.

So, the incorrect option is 'Deserts are arid patches of land'
