Solution
The correct option is B Afforestation There are many factors that has led to degradation of land. Overirrigation results in waterlogging which in turn leads to an increase in salinity and alkalinity of the soil. Mining and overgrazing leads to soil erosion. The mineral processing industry is also responsible for land degradation.
