Solution

The correct option is B Growing plants to form the soil cover
  • Soil erosion is the loss of the fertile soil due to an absence of plants which can hold the soil.
  • The roots of the plants allow the soil to be held due to the presence of water. In deforestation, there is the cutting or the removal of plants.
  • Due to which the water present in the soil gets evaporated resulting in a barren land.
  • This barren land is prone to soil erosion which results in the loss of the upper layer of the soil.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
