Answer 2

Answer:

The soil in Punjab has become saline due to over irrigation. (option a)

Explanation:

• The land of Punjab is mainly composed of alluvial soil.
• Water is very important for the survival and growth of plants, but excessive irrigation harms the soil.
• Over irrigation inhibits the germination of the seeds as they do not get sufficient air to respire.
• As a result, the roots of the plants do not grow properly.
• This changes the nature of the soil.
• Over irrigation causes waterlogging that increases the alkalinity and salinity of the soil.
• States like Haryana and Uttar Pradesh also face land degradation due to over irrigation.
