Solution

The correct option is B The roots of plants prevent the soil erosion
The roots of the plants allow the soil to be held due to the presence of water. Soil erosion is the loss of the fertile soil due to an absence of plants which can hold the soil. The farmers plant hedges across a field which prevents the carrying away of the soil during rain.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
