Solution
The correct option is D Rotting of dead matter
Soil pollution is the contamination of the soil by toxic chemicals or pollutants, thereby decreasing the soil quality. It is caused due to dumping of polythene bags and plastics, spraying of pesticides and dumping of untreated industrial wastes and chemicals.
Rotting dead matter in the soil is called humus. It gives dark colour to the soil. It makes the soil fertile and provides nutrients to growing plants. It does not lead to soil pollution.
