C) Afforestation D) Increasing bird population
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Afforestation

Explanation:

The four most common soil erosion prevention methods are vegetation, geotextiles, mulch, and retaining walls.

Preventing soil erosion is critical in protecting your property and exposed soil, whether from wind, weather, running water, and even the after-effects of the forest fire.
