    • D.

      All these

    Correct Answer
    D. All these
    Explanation
    All these methods can help in checking soil erosion due to running water. Mulching helps to cover the soil surface with a protective layer of organic material, reducing the impact of water flow and preventing erosion. Afforestation involves planting trees and vegetation, which helps to stabilize the soil and absorb excess water. Terraced cultivation involves creating steps or terraces on sloping land, which slows down the flow of water and reduces erosion. Implementing a check on grazing can also help prevent soil erosion by controlling the movement of livestock and reducing their impact on the land.
