Desertification
Correct Answer:
A. Soil erosion
Explanation:
Soil erosion is the most widespread form of land degradation in India, primarily driven by water and wind processes. It is particularly severe in regions with heavy rainfall, steep slopes, or insufficient vegetation cover, leading to the massive loss of fertile topsoil and essential nutrients. While other factors like desertification and landslides impact specific geographical areas, the scale and impact of water-induced erosion affect a significantly larger portion of the country's total land area.
