The correct option is A. Poor agricultural methods, kill off plants, leaving bare land.

Explanation:

Land degradation is a process which occurs due to naturally or human manipulation. In this process, the upper layer of soil is removed due to wind, water or human practices. It mostly occurs when vegetation is removed from soil surface, leaving the soil uncovered and high tillage practices.
