Solution

The correct option is A afforestation
Planting of trees is called afforestation. The roots of trees hold the soil together and helps in preventing soil erosion.

Deforestation is removal of trees and overgrazing depletes the grasses that keep top soil intact. Also, urbanization leads to cutting down of trees, which in turn results in soil erosion. So, deforestation, overgrazing by animals and urbanization are the major causes of soil erosion.
