The correct option is D All of the above
Chemical fertilisers and pesticides used in agriculture resulted in degradation of land quality. Acid rains increase the acidity of the soil making it uncultivatable whereas overgrazing destroys the top soil layer needed for cultivation and often causes desertification and erosion.
