Solution

The correct option is A Forest
  • Trees help keep soil in place by holding a large amount of soil with there roots.
  • Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams, raising the water level which leads to floods.
  • Planting trees acts to shield soil from the winds, and the mulch from fallen leaves forms a layer to protect the soil on the "forest" floor.
  • Hence the forest helps the soil to prevent the flood.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Forest'.
