Answer 2

(III). Afforestation is the correct answer.

Afforestation is not a cause of soil erosion.

EXPLANATION:-

on going through the given choices we can conclude that:-

• WIND is also a cause for soil erosion, as strong wind leads to the dispersal of soil from one place to another, which leads to soil erosion.
• WATER is also a cause for soil erosion, as a strong force of the water may carry away soil with it, as a result, soil erosion also occurs at that place.
• AFFORESTATION is not a cause of soil erosion, as afforestation leads to the prevention of soil erosion.
• DEFORESTATION is also a cause of soil erosion, as cutting down of trees also carries soil with it, as a result, soil erosion also occurs there.

Hence, (III) Afforestation is the correct answer.
