Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Soil erosion is more where Rainfall is high.
Soil erosion is the denudation or wearing away of the upper layer of soil. It is a form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants and animals (including humans).
If the soil is saturated, or if the rainfall rate is greater than the rate at which water can infiltrate into the soil, surface runoff occurs. And if rainfall is high more will be erosion of soil.
