Solution

The correct option is C Overgrazing
Contour ploughing, terrace farming, and building rock dams are ways to conserve soil by preventing soil erosion or decreasing the extent of erosion. Mulching increases the fertility and organic content of the soil. Strip cropping reduces the extent of wind erosion. Terrace farming reduces the speed of water and crops can be grown in its flatlands.
