Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Continuous heavy rainfall leads to the formation of acid soil.
Heavy rainfall leads to numerous hazards for soil and plants like flooding, agricultural runoff, leaching and loss of crops and livestock.
Rainfall is naturally acidic, due to the formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and this type of rainfall causes rapid acidification of soil.
