Which amongst the following will not lead to soil erosion?

Solution
The correct option is D Weathering
Soil erosion is the removal of the upper layer of the soil by the action of water, wind, etc. Overgrazing, urbanisation and deforestation can lead to the removal of plants from the top soil. This makes the soil in the top layer loose as there are no roots to hold them in place, which eventually leads to erosion.
However, weathering is the formation of soil and hence, will not lead to erosion.
