Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The area (Mha) under physical degradation (Waterlogged) in India is 11.6.
6.41 Mha is degraded land due to water logging and the remaining 4.75 Mha is under sub-surface waterlogging.
Water logging occurs when the soil profile or the root zone of a plant becomes saturated. In rain-fed situations, this happens when more rain falls than the soil absorb or the atmosphere can evaporate.
