The correct answer is:
D. vegetation and soil fertility.
Desertification leads to the degradation of land in arid and semi-arid areas, which significantly affects vegetation cover and reduces soil fertility. This process is driven by human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, and unsustainable agricultural practices, along with changes in rainfall patterns and climate change.
