Solution

The correct option is A Afforestation
Afforestation is the establishment of a forest or stands of trees in an area where there was no previous tree cover. Planting of trees helps prevent soil erosion since plants and trees' roots hold the soil together and also slow down the speed of flowing water that might erode the soil.
