Option (D)
Explanation:
The urbanization usually refers to the transformation of a rural area into an urban area. In order to do this, a large number of trees are being cut down in the selected site. This process is known as deforestation.
Cutting down these trees leads to an increasing amount of temperature in that area due to the high absorption of incoming solar energy. This results in the elimination of moisture content that was present in the soil and thereby leads to the process of soil erosion, where the soil particles are carried away by the wind.
Thus, urbanization is a major process that results in deforestation and a high rate of soil erosion.
Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
