A
True
B

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What Causes Erosion? Soil erosion occurs primarily when dirt is left exposed to strong winds, hard rains, and flowing water. In some cases, human activities, especially farming and land clearing, leave soil vulnerable to erosion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soil erosion destroys the most fertile section of the soil, which contains the majority of the nutrients and organic matter required by plants, leaving behind the less fertile subsoil. As a result of the removal of seeds or seedlings, the soil becomes bare, making it more susceptible to erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Soil erosion is the removal of the topmost layer of soil due to water, rain, wind etc. It is a naturally occurring process that affects all forms of land. It can be a slow process that is relatively unnoticed or can occur at an alarming rate, causing a serious loss of soil.
