Solution

The correct option is B Rain water causes loss of surface soil
Vegetation cover on the ground helps to hold the soil in place. It also helps in percolating water into the deeper layers of the soil. The absence of vegetational cover may lead to soil erosion.
So, the correct answer is option B.
