Solution

The correct option is C Erosion
When the upper layer is displaced from one area to another, the process is called soil erosion. Erosion of land is a natural process. It starts with the displacement of soil particles under the influence of natural factors like water, wind or even ice. The forceful and rapid movement of all these leads to movement of soil along with it.
Seepage is the term used for percolation of water inside the soil. Sewage means drainage facilities.
So, option C "Erosion" is the correct option
