Solution

The correct option is B Soil erosion
Soil erosion is defined as the removal of top soil by natural agents. There is generally a balance maintained between the processes of soil formation and erosion. But sometimes this balance is disturbed due to human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, construction and mining, or due to natural forces like wind, glaciers and water.
