Solution

The correct option is B

Rain water causes loss of surface soil


When rain falls on soil without vegetational cover, it causes soil erosion as the top layer of the soil is eroded by water. Topsoil is the most fertile layer of soil because it contains the most organic, nutrient-rich materials.
