Solution
The correct option is B Afforestation Controlled grazing will help in maintaining the grass and plant cover that can hold soil particles and prevent it from being eroded.
Afforestation or planting trees will help in binding the soil particles and prevent loss through erosion.
Overgrazing and removal of trees (deforestation) are two leading causes of soil erosion.
