B) erosion of soil

Explanation:

Edward plateau is at the border of the west, south and central texas and is surrounded by Balcones Fault, Pecos River, and the Chihuahuan Desert. The bedrocks of the place consist of the limestone and landscape is mostly of savanna type and most of the place thin soil is found due to the overgrazing of the sheep. The vegetation is shaped by the presence of the draughts and forest fires. Almost all of the landscape of this region has been converted to the ranchland and if it continues then the soil erosion will take place on a large scale.
