Solution

The correct option is A
True

The washing away of the top fertile layer of the soil by wind or water is known as soil erosion. Roots of trees and plants bind the soil particles and regulate the flow of water, thus saving soil from erosion. Hence soil erosion will be greater in places with no trees and plants.
