Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A Sheet erosion
C Gully erosion

Sheet erosion and gully erosion are types of soil erosion. Sheet erosion involves the removal of thin layers of soil one after another over a period of time. It is generally caused by running water. Sometimes the running water cuts through the clayey soils and makes deep channels known as gullies. This type of erosion is called gully erosion.
