Solution

The correct option is A Fire
The forces of nature, like wind, water, and ice, that cause the wearing away of landscapes and transportation of sediments are called agents of erosion. Fires in the form of wildfire in a forest can burn away ground cover and vegetation across the landscape but it does not directly participate in the process of erosion.
