Solution
The correct option is A Geological erosion
New soils can be formed through the slow weathering of the parent rock material, and from the deposition of air-borne or waterborne sediments. Under normal climate conditions, and with natural ground cover, soil erosion can often balance out with the rate of soil production. This is called natural, or geological erosion. Unfortunately, these geologic processes are very slow and are often overshadowed by the activities of man.
