 A. 
farming.
 B. 
irrigation.
 C. 
rainfall.
 D. 
deforestation.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct answer is **D. deforestation.** Deforestation can lead to soil erosion because the removal of trees and vegetation reduces the soil's stability and its ability to hold moisture. This results in increased runoff and erosion, which depletes the soil quality. While farming can also contribute to erosion, deforestation is a primary factor in many cases in Sub-Saharan Africa.
